Honolulu, Oah, H.I.: S.C. Damon, 1847. Quarto. 8p. A fine copy. Addresses the horrible conditions of the seaman. Besides severe beatings often leading to death, there are those who are demean them. Since the publication also wanted to promote temperance, the evangelical emphasis dealt with that also. It notes the levels of debaucery without details but besides the open sexuality throughout the ports of Polynesia, there is the hinted at but unmentioned problems of young men as victims of buggery. Of course, the paper shows those who are noticeable exceptions such as "Christian" captains but it implies conditions on the whalers were worst of all. In the back there is a list of sailings in and out of Honolulu as well as various items for sale chiefly for use on ocean voyages (rope, hooks, canvas for rigging, etc). A fascinating item in a protective folding case.

Kingston: [Printed by] Times' Printery, 1914. Paperback. Very Good. 12p. Softcover in original wrapper. 22cm. Modest horizontal crease. INSCRIBED in upper right corner of front cover ("... with the compts. of the Secretary of the J. B. Union"). The Centennial being marked was the arrival of the first Baptist missionary in Jamaica in 1814. Williams ended his address with a plea for better cooperation and support from Baptist pastors in Jamaica, asking them to support a proposal to raise "a Thanksgiving Fund to be used for the good of all the Churches." We don't know who inscribed this copy ar Secretary of the Jamaica Baptist Union but it may have been Rev.
