Book excerpt: Excerpt from Around the World, Due West to the Far East This volume would have appeared sooner but for a disastrous fire which necessitated delay; but it has been thought wise to allow the text to remain as it was originally written. The author indulged in some rather bold prophecies regard ing the relation of Hawaii to the United States, and also touching other matters; and it is strangely interesting to see how literally history has fulfilled these predictions. If the reader can get any part of the enjoy ment out of this trip which the writer had in making the journey, investigating historical facts, and recording his Observations, the reader will not have read, nor the writer have traveled and written, in vain.
