To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
SOME young Hawaiians had been taken to the United States, and there educated. The blessings of Christianity, which they valued in their effects on them- selves, they desired to impart to their fellow-country- men, by returning to the islands. This desire, and an interest relating to the Sandwich Islands, which had sprung up in the minds of the religious community in America, determined the sending of some missionaries to Hawaii. No intelligence had at that time been re- ceived of the events whi...ch have just been narrated. When the missionaries went forth, therefore, it was with the belief that the idolatrous system which had hitherto prevailed would be opposed to them. The courageous pioneers of Christianity despatched from Boston by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, were accompanied by several native youths, among whom was George Kaumaulii, son of the former King of Kauai, and who, having acquired the English tongue, were able to render the important assistance of acting as interpreters.
