I find that every page contains some useful Information, especially for the Now Zealand farmer and country settler." It is the best farmers' book of reference I havsneen." The estimate ot tho late SIR GEO. GREY, K.C.R., of an earlier and altoether less comprehensive edition has been published a ready, but lt will bear repetition. He wrote: "I have tested it in many ways upon a great variety of useful subjects, and am satisfied that it Is by far the best work of the kind I have ever seen. I feel that its merits and usefulness In relation to all practical subjects on which a settlor's comfort and success depend render lt a necessary appendage to every home in New Zealand.** Brief paragraphs from the opinions of other leading colonists on the edition (that of 1902) now offered aa a bonus to our subscribers may also be given and read with advantage. SIR WILLIAM RTTSSELL, M.H.R., of Flaxmere, Hawke's Bay, writing under date June 20th, 1902, pays:—"Brett's Colonists* Guide and Cyclopaedia of Useful Knowledge reached me safely, and I soon commenced glancing through it, but quickly settled down to more careful examination, for I fond it what it professes to be—a most excellent guide, and quite cyclopaedic in ifca information. Any Intelligent man starting a farm on his own account will be saved many blunders t? he . pays attention to what he can find in the 'Colonists' Guide,' which ls, in fact a most useful and interesting handbook, well compiled, handy in form, and quite wor thy a place on every colonist's bookshelf." . Mr. H. OVERTON, a leading agricultural authority in Canterbury, writing on July 17, says;—" The great variety of Information, touching upon almost every subject, makes the work a most interesting and instructive one tor persons in all walks of life, but especially to the country settler. I can most confidently recommend the same as being the most useful and up-to-date work of its class, and one which no home should be without" < Mr. ROUT. HALL, who holds a prominent position in the pastoral and agricultural community of Auckland Province, writes under date of July 7, 1902:—*T have to acknowledge with thanks receipt of a copy of 'Brett's Colonists' Guide.' which I have perused. So far as I have a knowledge of the various matters dealt with in this compilation, I can, without hesitation, assert that throughout it is a most useful and reliable work, and should be in every settler's home, as It deals with the various questions In connection with agriculture In a clear and intelligible form, easily understood, and enffldently con*prehenatva." \ An Offer Unique in the Annals of Colonial Journalism.
