ADVERTISEMENT TO THE SECOND EDITION. 
In presenting to the public a Second Edition of the following Narrative, 
the Author is happy in having an opportunity gratefully to acknowledge 
the kindness of those numerous friends who honoured him with their sub¬ 
scriptions for the first Edition,—the favourable notice taken of the volume 
in a number of highly respectable literary, scientific, and religious periodical 
publications,—and the encouraging approbation it has received from the 
public at large. In preparing the present Edition, he has availed himself 
of the friendly suggestions of the Editors of the Literary Gazette and 
the Eclectic Review; has altered in many parts the phraseology of the 
narrative, and has introduced in the first Chapter a brief account of the 
other Islands of the group. Tire present Volume, containing forty additional 
pages of Letterpress, and three extra Plates, together with a Map of the 
Sandwich Islands, induces him to hope it will be found to merit a degree 
of patronage equal to that which the first Edition has received. 
London, December 2 1 st , 1826.
