FIRST HISTORY PRINTED IN THE ISLANDS (HAWAII.) Dibble, Sheldon. History of the Sandwich Islands. Folding map in facsimile. 12mo, modern 1/4 calf; minor foxing. Lahainaluna, 1843
- Notes: first edition. A nice copy, with the Honolulu edition of the Appendix and without the plates found in few copies. "Sheldon Dibble's history of Hawaii, the first full-scale history printed in the Islands, is one of the most important documents of its time. Much of the history was derived from personal interviews and eyewitness accounts of events, and it gives details of events not easily found elsewhere... Although the engraved map is usually present, it was not originally considered by the mission or by Andrews as part of the book"--Forbes, Hawaiian National Bibliography 1383.
