Excerpt from Again in Hawaii: February May 1895By the liberality and courtesy of the proprietors of the N e'w York Evening Post, there may be found in these pages a record of the expe rience gained on my third visit to Hawaii. My notes on the first occa Sion were published by the Boston Commercial Bulletin, in December 1893, I was engaged by the Daily Evening Transcript, and in 1895 was commissioned by the Evening Post. The first-named residence in Honolulu was years ago, before the destruction of the native mon archy: the later engagements were for three months each, one-third of which time was spent on the route. My work for the Transcript (138 pages, 8vo) was published by the same house from which this is issued, it bore no foot-notes, nor was the matter corrected to make it conformable to the march Of events. Yet there has never been but one statement therein impeached with a semblance of success, this was the connection of one of the original annexation commissioners with certain investments designed for a benevolent purpose by the Queen. Had it not been for positive denial by the person implicated, the matter would have been repeated as originally stated by me on the assertion of those of whom I inquired during my latest visit. But no witness would dare to appear even indirectly in support Of any assertion inimical to those in power.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
