SIMMONDS'S  

COLONIAL MAGAZINE.  

NOTES ON THE SANDWICH, OR HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.  

BY ROBERT CRICHTON WYLLIE  

ESQ.  

The islands of the Pacific are now attracting so much public attention  

both in England and on the Continent, that any recent information  

which can be depended upon for authenticity will necessarily be  

valuable. therefore propose in the following series of papers to furnish  

ample details and statistical tables, showing the extent of the shipping,  

trade, agriculture, climate, diseases, religious institutions, civil and  

social condition, mercantile and financial policy, and natural and  

acquired advantages of the Sandwich, or Hawaiian Islands, viewed in  

relation to other groups of islands.  

Whale Fishery.—Extracts to show how far the Produce of the Fishery, as  

to the quantity of Sperm Oil, has fallen off in late years.  

Sperm Oil taken by six Vessels, out 9,18, 19, 21, 26, and 35 months.
