Product Information

Excerpt from Annual Report of the Treasurer of the Hawaiian Historical Society: For the Year Ending November 28th, 1900 When I remembered that a report would be expected from your Corresponding Secretary this evening, I was reminded of the German student, who, on being required to produce an essay on the camel, retired to his study, there to evolve from his inner consciousness the abstract idea of the camel; or again of the plight of the children of Israel when compelled to make bricks without straw. It is a trite saying that Inter arma silent leges, and so the rapid changes, political and commercial, which are taking place in these islands, have absorbed the attention of our community to the almost total exclusion of the history and folk-lore of the past. Hence the dearth of contributions which we deplore. Here I beg leave to state (to remove any misapprehension) that t only elaborate papers on special subjects, but brief communications containing information on historical events or personages, or myths or traditions or ancient customs, will be thankfully received by the officers of the Society. Of the interesting and valuable lecture on Samoan politics, delivered before this Society last May by the Hon. H. M. Sewall, the portion relating more immediately to the part taken in them by the Hawaiian Government has been published in our Seventh Annual Report. Our President has made a valuable contribution to the history of the Old Holulu Fort, which we are to have the pleasure of listening to this evening. I am happy to be able to state that a work by the same author on Unwritten Literature of Hawaii, treating especially of the cycle of legends and poems connected with the cult of Laka and of Hiiaka-i-ka-poli-o-Pele, is to be published in the near future.
