Hawaiian Idylls Of Love And Death (1908)

ℹ️ "The following stories are concerned mainly with incidents bearing on the career of the first sovereign of the Hawaiian archipelago, Kamehameha I, worthily distinguished from his successors as "Kamehameha the Great," who, born about the year 1736, achieved the unification of the group in 1795, and died in 1819, leaving behind him no one capable of following in his footsteps." (Introduction)

Sonnets For The Sundays Of The Church Year (1916)

ℹ️ "The writer is under no illusions as to the value of this little collection of Sonnets considered only as poetry. It has, however, been a pleasant occupation from time to time to condense the lessons of the Sundays of the Church's year into sonnet form, and it is hoped there may be some who will find an equal pleasure in following out the line of thought suggested. It will be noticed that each sonnet is based upon the Gospel for the day. Sometimes fancy has been permitted to wander in by-paths, but it is hoped the thought is never so remote as to prevent the sonnet from stimulating meditation on the great truths to which the Christian Year bears witness." (Foreword)

The Napoleon Of The Pacific: Kamehameha The Great (1919)

ℹ️ "JUST a century ago,—on May 8, 1819,—the greatest child of the Pacific, "from chaos until now," Kamehameha the First of Hawaii passed away, leaving to his children a legacy which they were unable to retain. The United States, which have providentially become the inheritors of his realm, are also made thereby the guardians of Kamehaineha's fame. It is in the hope that Americans will find some interest in the story of one who surely deserves his title of "the Great" that this book has been written." (Foreword)

Christ And Colosse, Or, The Gospel Of The Fullness: Five Lectures On S. Paul's Epistle To The Colossians (1922)

ℹ️ "The sole purpose of these five lectures, given in substance at the Summer Schools at Portland, Or., and Victoria, B.C., is to supply such a general introduction to the Epistle to the Colossians and such a rapid summary of its contents as will enable readers to obtain a real grasp of the significance of one of the greatest of Christian documents. It is in the hope that the lectures may thus become more widely useful that I have ventured to put them out in the present form." (Foreword)

An Outline History Of China (1926) · With Josef Washington Hall (1894–1960)

ℹ️ "Any Chinese schoolboy can tell you something of Socrates, Christ, Shakespeare, Luther, the British Empire, Napoleon, Washington, Lincoln, our Civil War, Roosevelt, Wilson. How many of the educated among us can tell anything of the 4,000-year-old Book of History, Confucius, Taoism, Chin the Empire-Builder, the rise of Korea, the culturization of Japan, Li Po the Divine Poet, Tang the Brilliant, the rise and fall of the Mongol Khans who nearly conquered Europe in addition to Asia, the coming of Russia into Asian affairs, the Manchu Empress Dowager, the Chinese Republican Revolution, the student uprising, Chinese guild organization, the China riots of 1925, or the Christian General?

Histories of China available in the past have been too often technical political studies or special pleas. They all have stopped with the initiation of the Republican Era. The authors of this book have attempted to write an interpretive story of the Chinese people based upon both scholarly research and intimate personal touch—a popularly told narrative of the “Immortal Nation” from the beginnings of the world’s most unique culture in the cave villages of the upper Yellow River five thousand years before Christ to the assembling of the convention to restore China’s national rights in the winter of A.D. 1925-6."

A History Of Indian Literature: From Vedic Times To The Present Day (1931)

ℹ️ "Although the poetry, drama, philosophy, and romance of India have had profound influence, by a kind of osmosis, upon the thought of the West, they have as yet but slightly touched the Western consciousness.

This is a great loss to us culturally, and the present volume is an effort to make more familiar to the general reader, without technicality and at the same time without too much concession to the elementary, a good deal that has hitherto been accessible mainly to the world of specialistic scholarship."
