Description:Excerpt from Hawaiian Idylls of Love and Death The following stories are concerned mainly with incidents bearing on the career of the first sovereign of the Hawaiian archipelago, Kamehameha I, worthily distinguished from his successors as Kamehameha the Great who, born about the year 1736, achieved the unification of the group in 1795, and died in 1819, leaving behind him no one capable of following in his footsteps. A few words about this notable ruler of a kingdom now no more may not be amiss as introductory to the stories to follow. Every visitor to Honolulu finds his way in course of time to the splendid square between the lolani Palace and the Aliiolani Hale. At least, such were the names borne till recent years by the dwelling-place of the sovereign and the meeting-place of the legislators of Hawaii. But times are changed, and names have changed with them. Now more prosaic names have been adopted by more prosaic times. Changing times, however, can never take away the interest attaching to one prominent object in this square, just in front of the Legislative Buildings. For monarch and legislature, ay, and people, too. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
