Description

Honolulu, HI, Bernice P. Bishop Museum, 1940. Large 8vo (25.6 x 17.3 cm). 227 pp.; 20 text figures, eight plates. Original printed wrappers. = A seldom-seen work on horticulture in Hawaii, from an ethnological point of view, written by the anthropologist Edward Smith Craighill Handy (1892-1980). The publication ".was motivated by a desire to come down to fundamentals in the study of Polynesian culture" (from the preface). He promised a second volume, ".devoted to the description and interpretation of the planter's economic, social, and political principles and life, and the traditional, ritualistic, mystical, and mythological ideology which his mind patterned after that life", but that was never published. Published as the Museum's Bulletin 161. Small stamp and label on front wrapper; internally clean, as new. A very good copy.
