Excerpt from Hawaiian Historical Society Reprints (1787, 1788 and 1789): Extracts From Voyages Made in the Years 1788 and 1789 From China to the North West Coast of America, With an Introductory Narrative of a Voyage Performed in 1786, From Bengal, in the Ship "Nootka"
In presenting this reprint to our members we have arranged the text so that the parts dealing with the Hawaiian Islands come first. All other parts, having an indirect bearing on the History of Hawaii, will be found at the end, in the Appendix.
The detailed account of Kaiana, and his voyage to and from China, together with an account of the ships trading with the Northwest Coast of America, many of which touched at these Islands, have been placed in the Appendix.
We have inserted, in brackets, the modern Hawaiian names after those given in the text, whenever possible. Where we have not been able to translate the names we have left parentheses in which they can be inserted. Arranged and indexed for the Hawaiian Historical Society by Bruce Cartwright Jr.
