Archibald Campbell, an English seaman sailing with the Russian American Company from 1806 to 1812, spent over a year convalescing in the Hawaiian Islands. He resided with King Kamehameha for three months of his stay, so that his account describes both the life of the king's household and that of the commoners. Campbell's is one of the fullest pre-missionary accounts of Hawaii.This volume, published on behalf of the Friends of the Library of Hawaii, is a facsimile reproduction of the third American edition, the full title of which is "A Voyager Round the World from 1806 to 1812; in which Japan, Kamschatka, the Aleutian Islands, and the Sandwich Islands were Visited; Including a Narrative of the Author's Shipwreck on the Island of Sannack, and His Subsequent Wreck in the Ship's Long-Boat: With an Account of the Present State of the Sandwich Islands and a Vocabulary of Their Language."
