Hawaii, 1778-1920, From the Viewpoint of a Bishop offers a comprehensive historical overview of the Hawaiian Islands during a transformative century and a half. Written by Henry Bond Restarick, the first American Bishop of the Episcopal Church in Hawaii, this work provides a unique perspective on the social, political, and religious evolution of the islands from the arrival of Captain Cook in 1778 through the early 20th century.

Restarick meticulously chronicles the transition of Hawaii from an isolated archipelago to a cosmopolitan territory of the United States. The narrative explores the influence of Western explorers, the impact of Christian missions, and the complex shifting of power within the Hawaiian monarchy and government. Drawing from personal observations and historical records, the author details the cultural changes and the development of institutions that shaped modern Hawaii.
