Beschreibung
Beschreibung:
108pp. plus [40]pp. of printed advertisements, many illustrated. Original printed blue front wrapper bound into modern half calf and marbled boards, spine gilt. Front wrapper worn and soiled. Titlepage foxed and loosening, some wear to the edges of a few terminal leaves. Moderate tanning, light scattered foxing. About very good. The third and most elaborate issue of this annual Hawaiian almanac and directory, which began in 1884. The editor, Robert J. Creighton, was an Irish-born member of the New Zealand Parliament, and towards the end of his life spent a handful of years in Hawaii where he became editor of the PACIFIC COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER and, therefore, this series of directories. Contents in this issue include a calendar (recording noteworthy dates in Hawaiian history), a timeline (beginning with years "since the discovery of the Hawaiian Islands by Captain Cook"), a full list of government employees and their offices, a dissection of Hawaiian taxes, distance tables, a description of the Islands' soil, climate, and outlook, a brief history of the monarchy, and more. Also included is the entirety of the 1864 Constitution of the Hawaiian Kingdom, and a detailed social, economic, and political "Review of the Year 1885." The rear of the almanac is occupied by forty pages of largely illustrated advertisements, including local island steamship companies, the Hawaiian Opera House, general merchants and importers, medical gadgets, lodgings, and more. This almanac is sometimes found with inserted portraits of King Kalakaua and Queen Kapilani as well as ten photoengraved views, none of which are present in this copy. A rare and detailed examination of the Kingdom of Hawaii shortly before its annexation by the United States. FORBES 3827. CARTER, p.7. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers WRCAM57588
