ALOHA WORLD RESOURCES

I

n the preparation of a work of this kind, which requires the consultation of so many authorities, it is difficult to specify one’s indebtedness in all cases. The author desires to express his obligations in that part of his work which treats of the Hawaiian and Philippine Islands to:

• Daggett’s “Legends of Hawaii”
• Carpenter’s “America in Hawaii,”
  
• Musick’s “Our New Possession”
  
• “Hawaii’s Story by Hawaii’s Queen,”
• Clare’s “Hawaii Nei,”
  
• Forman’s “History of the Philippines,”
  
• Worcester’s “The Philippine Islands and Their People,”
  
• Lala’s “The Philippine Islands,” and other books, while he has had frequent recourse to the Reports of the United States Government. Those works most often consulted upon Japan have been:
  
• Murray’s “Story of Japan,”
  
• Griffis’s “The Mikado’s Empire ,”
  
• Riordan’s “Sunrise Stories,”
• Lowell’s “Soul of the Far East, ” and
  
• Baxter’s “In Bamboo Lands.”
  

The author has been materially assisted in the part devoted to China by the works of Colquhoun, Thompson, Boulger, Lord Charles Beresford, Mrs. Bishop, Miss Scidmore, and several others, aside from many miscellaneous papers and documents.

For aid in illustrating the work, the publishers wish to express their thanks to Hon. Gorham D. Gilman who generously allowed them such selections as they desired from his extensive collections of photographs on Hawaii, probably the largest in the country, and to Professor Fryer, of the University of California, for similar courtesies in relation to the illustrations of China.
