Old Hawaii Revisited
p. 85 · Read in the full issue
Captain James Cook had been dead about 50 years when an American missionary, the Rev. C. S. Stewart, landed with his wife in the Sandwich Islands, better known today as the islands of Hawaii.
His journal, compiled during his three years there in the 1820 s, be came a classic for students of an thropology, travel and the Pacific. But it’s long been out of print.
The University of Hawaii Press has now done a good turn for those wanting a copy of Journal of a Resi dence in the Sandwich Islands by pub lishing for Friends of the Library of Hawaii a facsimile reproduction of the third edition of 1830. It is a neat printing, complete with the original dustcover displaying a woodcut of the Valley of Ua on Oahu, but it has an index added.
The price is USS6.SO.
