It is full ot factaJ and these are told in such a charming stylelliatl yon must continue reading. I know no book nj fitted to rouse the interest and enthusiasm of an; intending settler as this ' Rural New Zealand*: — you feel you must visit the land about which Mr Houghton speaks. It leaves that h_w pre_sion on me who havo been over everyjparj described by the writer, and what must it do t» one who has never seen our New Zealand. -j " I cannot write too strongly in praise of Mb HouKhton's book. In my opinion, if it wore oW culatei by thousands in tho Home country, W should have small farmers flocking to our snore? and that is the olass of immigrants wo need.*; R• bekt STOPX,^ His Honor Mb Justice Dehkistos writes:— _ Christchurch, 6th April, 1893$ - "My dear Sir, — When I dismissed wtta you in -Wellington your projects for encouraw inj» immigration, I agreed with you that -fiat was most likely to benefit Now Zealani wm some popular means of bringing before the a_j riculturists of older countries her re&ourceji natural andacquirod, for oomfortably maintain' ing a largo rural population. -J " The little book.
