By the medical physician and author who attended Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts and served in the First Regiment of the Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry during the Civil War, during which he was wounded three times. He served as a doctor in New York until 1878, after which he relocated to Hawaii. One of his notable efforts was the translation into English of David Malo's great work on Hawaiian lore and customs.

From the Back Cover:
This book is a fascinating account of Hawaii's native dance and the sacred songs that accompanied it. The songs, and poems, presented both in the original Hawaiian and in English translation--a number of them with their music--constitute a ready-made anthology that includes every species of composition in the whole range of Hawaiian poetry.
