'Rural New Zealand.1 of. whiehyoa have sent me a copy, seems a very ; utiifactory realisation of yowr idea. It puts ' poatly and succlnotly, in popular and intelligent Janguagt, the actual surroundings and conditions under;which rural life is carried on in the colony. As far as I can see, yon haro fortified I Jour statements by statistics from actual ex* ierimenti, and if the results seem in some cases 100 satisfactory to be sound, it will be so only to those who do not know the exceptional natural advantages of the colony. i i "Tourillnstratiom ara, I think, rery happily iMleoted. Nothing can be bettor calculated to fcrinsf home to the class most desirable for colpniits the fact that emigration to New Zealand ptes not mean banishment from the comforta jtr even the luxuriei of lite, or to show how Innch of oar borrowed millions has been IWliely spent iti providing facilities and conjnnlences for the great access of population Hrhich oar unrivalled natural recourcss justify v in expocttaff.
