By JOHN HOUGHTON, Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court ol Hew Zealand, and Attorney and Counsellor at Law of tho Supreme Court of California, U.S.A. .Thero is and always has boen for a very long time an enormous influx of population Into Aworica, aud it is uaiversivlly admitted that people of all classes in New Zealand, especially the trading and manufacturing classes, in fact a!! dvyellors incatisa, would be immensely benefltsd by an accession of an industrious population willing to settle on New Zealand soil, and take advantage of its groat,natural resources. The private citizens ot the United Statea are 80 alive to the importance of attracting population, that thay expend large sums in advertising; tho relative advantages of different section* of iheir country, State vicing with State to secure its due or undue share of tho influx constantly flowing into New York from the older countries^ Tho author of "Rural Now Zoaland" has lived for eotno years in America, and travelled over a oonslderabls portion of it, hag observed tho methods employed by the Americana for attracting population, and bis book is tho outcome of his observations. Ho has tUva had spocial opportunities for instituting a ooraimneon between tha two countries, and unhtsitr.tiugly declares in favour of Now Zoaland for tlia reasons stated therein. An opportunity is fnrnished by this book for the people in New Zealand to show to their irionds in other countries what this country really is, ss it con only be properly shown, via. by comparison with nthur countries. OPINIONS OF PROMINENT NEW ZEALAND MEN. Sib Robert Stout, X C.M.G., writes :— The Grand Hotel. Princes-street, Auckland, Maroh 8,1893. "I havo read the proofs of Mr Eoughton'a book, ' Rural New Zealand,' and I baliavo it is the very book to put into tho hands of tha small farmers of tho United Kingdom who may bethinking of emigrating. It In full of facts, and these aro told in suon a charminc style that tou must continxia reading. I know no book so fitted to rouse the int.erc3tand onthiißiasm of an intending Mettlcr as this ' Rural New Zealand — you feol you must vioit the land aoout which Mr Houghton upftaks. Itleavos that in); preasion on mo who havo boon over overy par. desorilied by tho writer, and what must ft do to oao who ban never seen our New Zealand. " I cannot writo too strongly in praise of Mr Konpthton'R book. In m.r opinion, if it wore circulated by thonnandu in tbn Homo countrr, wo should lievo small farmers flocking to our shoraa aud that is tho clas3 of immigrants wo need." r RBBHRT STODT. '* ITia Honor Mr Justice Dennistow writes :— Chrifltohurch, 6th April, 1893. "My doar Sir, — When I discussed with yon in Wellington your projects for enconrasins immigration, I aproed with you that what ■was moat likely to benefit Now Zoaland was rome popular means of bringing beforwtheag- | riculturlots of older countries her resources, natural and Ecqnirod. for comfortably maintain- ■ ing' a largo rural population. ! "Tho little book, 'Rural Ne\T Zoaland.'of ! ■Vhich you havo Bfint mo a copy, seems a very 1 BatJKfactory realisation of yonr idea. It puta neatly and succinctly, in popular and intelligent 1 laiiKiiasn, tho actual surrounding and eondi- ! (ions under which rural life In carried on in tho ; colony. As far as I can soe, you havo fortified ; your "statements by statistics from actual ex- | perimonis and if tlic results taoz\ in some cases too satisfactory to bo sound, ib will be no only to ! ifcoso who dn not, know tho exceptional natural I advantages of the colony. : " Your illustration* urn. I think, very happily ' neleoted. Nothing can be better calcul.it/d to i brir.'i home to the clns3 mo3t desirable for coloiiists tho fact that emigration to New Zealand (i 093 not moan banishment from the comforts !or even the luxuries of life, or to Bhow how i nuch of our borrowed millions has boon ' wi^oly spent in providing facilities aud con- ! vpnio.'nof.s for the irreat access of population i which our unrivallsd natural resources justify i Vis in oxpootiag. ) •' I confrratnlote you very heartily en tha Pff1 1 suit of your labours." .„..,, Touts faithfully, I J.
