About This Book

The volume offers descriptive sketches of northern New Zealand, focusing on its distinctive kauri forests and gum industry, detailed natural-history observations, and portrayals of Maori customs and everyday life. It combines practical discussion of timber and resource use with travel anecdotes, local stories, and reflections on landscape and settlement. Chapters move between botanical and geological notes, accounts of local manners, and narrative episodes that illustrate social encounters and assessments of character and economy.

BY
WILLIAM DELISLE HAY,
AUTHOR OF
"THREE HUNDRED YEARS HENCE," "THE DOOM OF THE GREAT CITY," ETC.

"Queen of the seas, enlarge thyself!
Send thou thy swarms abroad!
For in the years to come,—
Where'er thy progeny,
Thy language and thy spirit shall be found,—
If—
—in that Austral world long sought,
The many-isled Pacific,—
When islands shall have grown, and cities risen
In cocoa-groves embower'd;
Where'er thy language lives,
By whatsoever name the land be call'd,
That land is English still."
Southey.
