Hardcover. Condition: Good. First launched in January 1911, this second volume is complete with 6 monthly issues dated July to December 1911. Each in original colour illustrated wraps bound inside the publisher's ornately gilt-illustrated green cloth 18x26cm. Printed by the Hawaiian Gazette. pp1-596; pp101-146 "Encyclopedia and…Guide to Hawaii and the Pacific" with Index; (17)pp Hawaii Peace Congress supplement. With b/w photos and maps throughout. Provenance: ex-Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association Experiment Station Library copy, with minimal markings including spine label and ink stamp to front pastedown dated 9/13/44. Covers otherwise very good, rubbed to the extremities with gilt bright. Interiors about very good faintly damp stained to lower edges, with short closed tears towards the end. Alexander Hume Ford launched this as the official organ of the "Hands-Around-the-Pacific Club" (renamed Pan-Pacific Union in 1912) which he co-founded with Jack London to promote regional interests. They hosted gatherings for leading figures at the Outrigger Canoe Club in Hawaii, which Ford had founded in 1908 to revive and preserve surfing on boards and in outrigger canoes. Ford wrote more than at first appears, confessing to London that he used assumed names whilst begging, stealing or borrowing the rest. He encouraged his local business backers to submit factual content for the Encyclopedia and Guide instead of offering them display ads. The content is very rich on Hawaiian and wider Pacific culture, history, and geography, with additional regular features on Pacific personalities (profiling Club members and others), poetry and literature. ISSUE 1: Ford's Editorial records positive press reactions for Volume I "from Boston to Manila" with a congratulatory letter from Jack London. Articles cover the Outrigger Canoe Club, Hawaiian mountain horse trails, tramping in Fiji, Milford Sound Trail New Zealand, through Manchuria by trail and train etc. // ISSUE 2 has a full-page panel containing a surfing photo of Duke Kahanamoku by Gurrey with a passage from Byron's Childe Harold inside front. Articles include Hawaii's scenery, native Hawaiian fishing, Ford's visit to a volcano with cannibals, a day in Honolulu, Japanese rice culture, Philippines, New Zealand's Yellowstone. // ISSUE 3: Haleakala, Honolulu shark hunt, regatta day, Savage Island, tramping across Alaska, trout fishing in NSW. // ISSUE 4: a surfing poem, Hawaii's Laysan Island Bird Reservation, Maori-Hawaiian legends, Peace Congress in Hawaii, old Peru, Samoa, railways linking farms in Australia, Japan's peasants, irrigation, South Seas emancipated women etc. // ISSUE 5 has Ford's piece on the passing of the outrigger with photos from Hawaii and elsewhere, Mauna Kea, Hawaii's immigration problem, rod and reel fishing in Hawaii, Hawaiian national dress, Tapa cloth, Samoan customs (including the fate of old canoes), a day in Canton, Australian coast etc. // ISSUE 6: a full page b/w photo "Duke, the Champion Surfer of the World, Hawaii" (p590) in Ford's article on boys' sports in the South Seas. Others cover Kauai canyons, New Zealand, Christmas around the Pacific, Pacific people, Australia, Index to Vol II, Peace Congress supplement including speech by David Starr Jordan etc. Hands-Across-the-Sea illustration to the back.

"Poetry is an unacknowledged war industry. It is a known but unmitigated error of many intelligent people to look down on poetry as if it were a feather in the hat on a stormy day, curlicues on the fringe of nothing, play for an idle moment between major issues. Hence the infinite indifference to poetry in a society badly in need of it, but offering to it, as to Christianity, a meaningless lip service. Poetry is a necessity wearing the trapping of a luxury. It is a way to live, and a way to evaluate that way. It is a way of seeing, and therefore of believing" (Oscar Williams, Introduction).
