This travel volume about Hawaii was published in 1916. From the book's Preface: Of all the books that have been written on Hawaii, the pages that follow constitute the least pretentious. Mine, indeed, is a book at all only by accident of physical form. It boasts no architectonics, scarcely even a beginning and an end. Its sole unity is the unity derived from being the record, by a single pen, of some of the experiences of a single month. It wanders almost consciously; it leaps from the general to the intimate and particular with no apology, with hardly even a transition. In that sense, it is ragged - ragged like almost any month of life. Yet it falls already, for me - that brief season - into a memory that "composes". In that month, thick-packed with happy adventures of eye and ear, it is hard for one's nostalgic mood to recall one jarring note or one unlucky tint. The remembered sweetness of Hawaiian voices has haunted each sentence as it was written; palms should droop over every page; the white Pacific surf should beat round every margin. It has, in memory, the unity at least of a curious and varied perfection. I have tried not to vex the pages with history or statistics - except where such are registered first of all by one's own senses, or dog an impres- sion unescapably. "Information" I have tried modestly to leave to the encyclopaedic mind. But - and here is my only defense - if I have contrived to suggest a tithe of the beauties of that "loveliest fleet of islands", to inspire one creature with an effective desire to go and taste for himself, I can claim one virtue. The half is not told; and Hawaii waits with open arms, under the Southern Cross, to give more than I have even hinted. My great fear is simply that I have not hinted enough. These pages are the wandering record of a month - with how many crowding pleasures, social and aesthetic, of necessity left out! My context is richer than my page; my memory than my manuscript. If you travel undominated by a fixed idea, it must be so. Only those under vows can defy the unexpected and make of their days a pattern. Our adventure was rich, brief, an unfore- seen and beautiful motley. A full third of the little book goes to description of a place most Islanders ignore, a place as untypical and "special" as any in the world; the Leper Settlement on Molokai. That in itself would destroy "unity"; though it is positively the finest of our memories. Nor is there even unity in the group to which I owe thanks. But I beg that all those who know that I have reason to be grateful to them will take to themselves my tacit acknowledg- ment. Explicit, it might seem to be oddly shared. At all events, to those who, in their different ways, made the adventure possible and made it what it was, I humbly offer the record - in the phrase of the project, "a basket of summer fruit".

Excerpt from Valiant DustThe first time that Annette, Countess Chudenitz, met Andrew Radin was at a hectic function in her cousin's (mrs. Livingston Bollard's) house. I hardly know how to describe the occasion, for it was of no social genre. Radin talked for an hour; New York's intelligentsia listened, rubbing shoulders with débu tantes, bewildered matrons, and glib young women who were ofiicially garment-workers (on strike), but who would have been more accurately labelled dynamite. In positions of vantage sat the clever creatures, male and female, who were running Mrs. Bollard's newest publication - the third and by far the most important that she had yet financed. They were the ones who asked the proper questions at the proper time, and gave Radin a chance to make his points. The débutantes were as bewildered as the matrons, but their bewilder ment did not - if you will pardon the paradox - be wilder them. They knew that this was the proper at mosphere for them to breathe - Mrs. Dollard said so and they took their tea from the hands of the second footman without perceiving that it should, logically speaking, have choked them. Radin himself drank tea. So did the garment-workers. So did all the intelligentsia. So did every one except Annette Chu.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
