Publisher's Synopsis

""Address to the House of Representatives of the Hawaiian Kingdom on the Inefficiency of High Duties on Spirits"" is a historical document written by Robert Crichton Wyllie in 1851. The book is a speech given by Wyllie, who was a prominent political figure in the Kingdom of Hawaii, to the House of Representatives. In the speech, Wyllie argues against the imposition of high duties on spirits, which he believed were ineffective and harmful to the economy of the kingdom. He also discusses the impact of the liquor trade on the Hawaiian people and the need for responsible regulation. This book provides a valuable insight into the political and economic climate of Hawaii in the mid-19th century and the debates surrounding the regulation of alcohol. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Hawaiian history and the development of its political institutions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
