The Polynesian. November 9, 1844. New Series Vol. 1. No.25.

Helen Geracimis Chapin, in "Shaping History: The Role of Newspapers in 
Hawai'i" includes an entire chapter on The Polynesian, which she notes 
that the paper is "generally regarded as the most famous of the Islands' 
papers in the nineteenth century". The weekly newspaper was begun in 
1840 by Boston- expatriate James Jackson Jarves, who ran it as a 
commercial organ aimed at Honolulu's some 600 English-speaking residents 
until he ran out of money in 1841. The paper was revived by the 
Hawai'ian government in May, 1844 and Jarves rejoined the paper as 
editor in July. Jarves left in 1849 to become special envoy of the 
Hawai'ian government to the United States, Great Britain, and France, 
but the paper continued publication until 1864. Uncommon in the trade.

12"x18". 4 pages. Some darkening in a few places, sheets mostly 
separated at the spine fold. Shows signs of having been bound into a 
larger volume. [41640] $400
