Summary

"Speeches of His Majesty Kamehameha IV. To the Hawaiian Legislature" by King Kamehameha IV is a collection of the king's addresses and announcements from the time he ruled in the mid-1800s. It reveals his opinions on ruling, how Hawaii interacted with other countries, and the problems confronting his people. The writings start after the death of Kamehameha III, detailing Kamehameha IV becoming king, which includes his initial words to important advisors, a royal announcement to the public, and thoughts about how important working together and good government are. Kamehameha IV acknowledges the help he received from other countries, while he makes it clear that he is dedicated to keeping Hawaii independent and making sure its people are well. He talks about working together to guarantee success and stability during his time as king; these early speeches give a perception of a leader who knows the difficulties but feels optimistic about a unified future.
