"At the age of seventeen [Lucy Thurston] landed upon our shores [Sandwich Islands], with the expectation of enjoying, for a season, the advantages of the society and its citizens of Christian America; but within three weeks after the time of her arrival, she found a place in our sepulchres. What Lucy Thurston was, and what she became in the peculiar circumstances of her situation, is here presented chiefly in her own language, by extracts from her journal and letters. Thus, being dead, she yet speaketh. If her example should inculcate any new lessons in meekness, humility, and loveliness of deportment; if it should impress upon the minds of any of the youth of our land the importance and blessedness of early piety, or inspire any one of them with a love for the missionary cause, she will not speak in vain. The writer will ever rejoice that by a peculiar providence she was permitted to stand by the dying bed of 'the missionary's daughter'. For the benefit of those into whose hands this book may fall, and who may not be familiar with the history of the Sandwich Island mission, a brief sketch of the early history of these islands, and of the introduction and progress of Christianity upon them, is prefixed to the memoir." [from the Preface] Lucy Thurston, the author of this book, was the daughter of Asa and Lucy Goodale Thurston [1795-1876] who were among the first Christian missionaries to the Sandwich Islands [Hawaii]. It is confusing that both mother and daughter were sometimes referred to as Lucy Goodale Thurston. "Lucy Goodale Thurston, the subject of this memoir was born at Honolulu, on the island of Oahu, 125th of April, 1823. She was the second child of Rev. Asa and Mrs. Lucy G. Thurston. Lucy was six months old when her parents returned to Kailua, on the island of Hawaii. Lucy commenced a journal when she was eight years of age and continued it, with occasional interruptions, till two weeks before her death. She also, when quite young, commenced a correspondence with some of the children of the missionaries, and with her young relatives in this country [United States], and subsequently exchanged letters with several of the missionaries. It is chiefly by extracts from this journal, and from some of the letters of which we have copies, that we propose to present her character and the peculiar circumstances under which it was formed." [excerpts from Chapter VI of this volume] There follow extracts from her journal and from her letters which offer great insight into the life of missionaries in Hawaii in the 1820s. All told, this is a unique and rare account. It should not be confused with the book about her mother entitled The Life and Times of Lucy Goodale Thurston; Wife of Rev. Asa Thurston.

Second edition. Small octavo, 219, [3, publisher's ads] pp. Publisher's diaper-grain dark brown cloth, blocked in blind, spine with gilt lettering and ornaments, pale yellow endpapers. Expertly rebacked preserving most of original spine (and all of the lettering). Tips a bit worn and the text is toned but a very attractive copy of this early Hawaii title.Lucy Goodale Thurston was one of the most famous and influential of the early Protestant missionaries to the Sandwich Islands. Teacher and graduate of Bradford Academy in Massachusetts. In 1819 she married the Reverend Asa Thurston and together they joined the "Pioneer Company" which sailed from Boston in October and arrived at Kailua, Hawaii in April of 1820, a voyage of 164 days. At the request of King Kamehameha II they were left at Kailua to establish a missionary station in the King's residence. They later removed to Honolulu where their job was to translate and teach the Bible. They completed many parts of the Old and New Testaments, as well as primers in Arithmetic and Geography. Lucy sailed around the Horn round trip five times, traveling over 90,000 miles by sea. She died in Honolulu in 1876 and is buried there.

Small Hard Cover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Board corners lightly rubbed, pages lightly foxed. 1842 Small Hard Cover. 219, 3 pp. "Asa Thurston (October 12, 1787 ? March 11, 1868) and Lucy Goodale Thurston (October 29, 1795 ? October 13, 1876) were in the first company of American Christian missionaries to the Hawaiian Islands. Lucy Goodale was born on October 29, 1795, on the Goodale Homestead in Marlborough, Massachusetts, in what would later become Hudson, Massachusetts. Her father, Abner Goodale, was a deacon and American Revolutionary War veteran. She graduated from Bradford Academy and became a school teacher. The Thurstons, unlike most missionary couples, spent most of the rest of their lives in the islands. Lucy compiled her letters and other writings (completed by her daughter Persis Goodale Taylor and Walter Freer, and published under the title of Life and Times of Mrs. Lucy G. Thurston in Ann Arbor in 1876) into one of the most vivid accounts of the early mission days. As treatment for breast cancer, she had a mastectomy in 1855, although anaesthetic had not been developed. She died on October 13, 1876 in Honolulu.
