The Alphabet (1822) has the distinction of being the earliest surviving printing done on the islands. Note the spelling of "Owhy" for Hawaiʻi and that there are the 5 vowels and 12 consonants in the Hawaiian alphabet at this point (17 letters that would quickly be dropped to 12 letters when the U.S. missionaries voted 5 letters out of the alphabet as duplicative). Another important feature to note: early printing in Hawaiian did not include one of the necessary consonants - the ʻokina (ʻ), which represents a glottal stop. Presumably this was because they did not have the appropriate pieces of type for it, which is also why all diacritics were ignored in early Hawaiian printing. When the people in Hawaiʻi wrote asking for these pieces of type they were sent the wrong size!
