Self-praise ia said to bo no recommendation, androadorsoE tho "Graphic" aredoubtlenstoo ■well avtare of the vast improvements already accomplished and weekly beiug mude in every department of this papor to neod rcmindinfi of them. Nevertheless, when at the commencement of another volume it is resolved to nviko yet another and higher bid for public favour, the editor, in the name of tho proprietors, may review what has beon done and briefly stato future intentioua. Since its commencement it has boen tho aim of tho proprietary to make tho "Graphic" TITF. FINEST ILLUSTRATED PAPER SOUTUOF THE LINE — a paper which should combino tho advantages of a weekly illustrated magazine of the best procurable lilerature. and a high-class society newspaper for the colony. No pnins, no labour, and no expense hare been spared in the furtherance of these objects. Nor hiivo the oiforts put forth failed to meet with due recognition From all sides we have received praises and congratulations, wo have beon honoured with tho notico of several of tho leading Home papers, and our pictures and cartoons have i boon deemed worthy of reproduction in tho I " Review of Rovlews." Best of all our circulai tion ia steadily increasing, showing that the I paper is (Irmly establishing itself as the premier I weekly journal of tliia colony. ! In tho early days of tbo paper's cxistonco it wns statod that one of the objects of tho "Graphic" would ho to foster native genius and encoumgo local literature. This has been done. Year by year prize competition!) lmvo been inaugurated to offer a special stimulus to local fictionists, and our pages always lmve been and always areopen to contributors. But whiledesiring to develop a New Zealand school of authors, wo havo borne in mind that the high literary standard of a magazino of the first water must bo maintained. Under these circumstances, and in so young a community, it is not wonderful that comparatively few authors have been ablo to stand in company with tho brst story writers from Europo and America, with whom they were in competition. Everything, however, comes in time, ana tho Editor niul Proprietor have great pleasure in Announcing that they havo secured a New Zealand Novel by a New Zealand Authoress, for immediate publication in the "NEW ZEALAND GRAPHIC." The story in sensational and powerful, and j deals wiHi tho mighty human passions ot '"Love, Hate, and Revenge." Revcngo is, j indeed, a3 the title of the story, I —us- "U t U" -m- | (Revenge or Payment) denotes, the ruling motivo of the tale. Vengeance more weird, more complete, and yot moro strange, has nover formod the theme of romance. Tho story begins iv Kngland, but the plot is devoloped and worked out in New Zealand, not the modern New Zealand, but tho colony in tho savage old days. It Is essentially a story to "make your flesh creep."as tho fat boy in "Pickwick" said. The plot is mysterious, wildly exciting, and tho situations, always exceedingly powerful, are oftentimes thrilling. Tho opinion of an omnivorous ilovourcr of novels to whom the work was submitted is:—"The story is tho most oxciting I have read for many a long day. It will make ii great hit and a big sonsation in the Old Country. The plot is magnificent, and exceedingly well worked out. The Maori pictures I and incidents aro beyond comparison with 1 anything previously dono here. I thrilled and I shuddered as I nevor could have believed a novel would make mo thrill nowadays." So says a Kentloinen who reads almost every novel that appears, and his judgment will be fully endorsed by tho.-»e ivlio read "UTU " in the " Graphic" Conscious of the importance of tho work und its magnificent opportunities for illustration, the proprietor has arranged with Mit Kenneth Watkins, President" of the Auckland Academy of Arts, to illustrato "UTU." Tho name of this artist is well-known throughout New Zealand ai a magnificent delineator ot Maori life and character. In his hands the pictures will immensely enhance tho interest of the letterpress. Rarely has an artist been so favoured by .in author. There aro in this story hundreds of subjects to call forth all tho artistic power.) anil imagination •with which Mr Kenneth Watkins i 3 so generously endowed.
