This is the first in a multivolume bibliography providing a record of all printed works touching on some aspect of the political, religious, cultural, or social history of the Hawaiian islands. In addition to books and pamphlets, the bibliography includes newspaper and periodical accounts and single-sheet publications such as broadsides, circulars, playbills and handbills, as they often contain the only eyewitness or contemporary description of an important event or individual. Annotations provide a brief summary of approximately 760 published works in this first volume. All known editions of each work are listed, together with the exact title, date of publication, size of the volume, collation of pages, number and type of plates and maps, references and location of copies.
