Beschreibung
Two volumes. viii,351; iv,370pp., plus mounted photographic frontispieces and two mounted plates in each volume. Contemporary three-quarter calf and marbled boards, spines gilt with raised bands and morocco labels, t.e.g. Calf scuffed, front board of first volume nearly detached, else very good. The author spent some time in the Polynesian islands, and much of the information about the natives and lands which he offers was obtained first hand. He begins with an interesting description of Hawaii, particularly illustrating the situation of Chinese immigrants on the islands and how their treatment differs from in California. He closes with "Hints for Capitalists," suggesting the best ways to make money from the Pacific islands. An unusual mélange of travelogue, ethnography, and commercial analysis.
