About this book
Speeches of His Majesty Kamehameha IV gathers the public addresses of Kamehameha IV (1834-1863), king of the Hawaiian Kingdom from 1855 until his death in 1863. Educated in part in the United States and well read in English literature, Kamehameha IV sought during his reign to preserve Hawaiian sovereignty against American annexationist pressure, to develop modern hospital provision against the smallpox and measles epidemics that were devastating the Native Hawaiian population, and to ally the kingdom with the Anglican Church of England as a counterweight to American Congregationalist mission influence. The Speeches gather his addresses to the Hawaiian legislature and on state occasions and are a primary source for mid-nineteenth-century Hawaiian political history before the eventual American overthrow of the monarchy in 1893.
