Though some of the essays in this volume have appeared in various serials, the majority of them were written expressly for their present purpose, and they are now arranged in a designed order. During some years of study of Greek, Indian, and savage mythologies, I have become more and more impressed with a sense of the inadequacy of the prevalent method of comparative mythology. That method is based on the belief that myths are the result of a disease of language, as the pearl is the result of a disease of the oyster. It is argued that men at some period, or periods, spoke in a singular style of coloured and concrete language, and that their children retained the phrases of this language after losing hold of the original meaning. The consequence was the growth of myths about supposed persons, whose names had originally been mere 'appellations.' In conformity with this hypothesis the method of comparative mythology examines the proper names which occur in myths. The notion is that these names contain a key to the meaning of the story, and that, in fact, of the story the names are the germs and the oldest surviving part.

The Story of Hawaii: History, Customs, Mythology, Geography & Archaeology offers readers a comprehensive exploration of Hawaii's storied past and vibrant culture, converging diverse literary forms and perspectives. This anthology weaves together historical narratives, mythological tales, and intricate descriptions of geographical and archaeological findings to present a multidimensional portrait of the Hawaiian Islands. The collection's standout chapters each bring a unique lens to the state's evolving identity, reflecting the complexities of Hawaii's story from ancient times through successive waves of cultural influence. Together, these narratives paint a vivid tableau of Hawaii's rich tapestry, inviting readers to unravel its multifaceted identity. Featuring contributions from esteemed chroniclers like Gerard Fowke and King David Kalakaua, the anthology is a testament to the diverse voices that have documented Hawaii's fascinating legacy. The editors and authors, either native sons or astute explorers of Hawaiian heritage, offer insights into significant historical and cultural shifts that have shaped Hawaii. Their works align with broader movements in 19th and 20th-century anthropology, nationalism, and colonial studies, weaving traditional Hawaiian voices with those of Western observers, thus enriching the dialogue between indigenous narratives and global discourses. The Story of Hawaii beckons scholars, enthusiasts, and casual readers alike to delve into a layered exploration of Hawaii's legacy. This volume provides not only a scholarly treasure trove of historical and cultural insights but also an engaging journey through various literary styles and perspectives. It is an invaluable resource for those seeking to understand the complexities of Hawaii's development through time, offering educational enrichment and fostering a deeper appreciation for its cultural dialogue.
