THE I WEEKLY PRESS AS-t-YERSARY SAY, DECEMBEB 16th. Historical Retrospect 1850-1886. * r THB STOBT OV OTJB LIVES ntOK TBAB TO TBAB." TTTTHERTO, in spite of its interest for XX. of _st_erß S—d their descendants, the history of Canterbury has remained unwritten. Beoognising that the time for securing a permanent record of the meet interesting events ia the youth of the colony was fast passing away, the Proprietors of the Wx_—xt Pbxss decided that their Anniversary Number this year | should be the meant of presenting their subscribers with a sketch of events prepared with such accuracy and oompletei ness at should make it aot only a piece ef interest ng reading, but also a valuable historical record Beginning with the arrival of lhe first four ships, the history is brought down to the present day, and it may be aud with confidence that ao copy of a newspaper was ever issued in Canterb—ry with ao good a prospect of strargly-rterestrhg tht majority Canterbury re_riert. The task waa entrusted to Mr Geo. B. Hart, whose long and intimate acquaintance with the Province peculiarly qualifies him to write its history, and whose "Stray Leaves" recently met with so gratifying a reception from all sectiontot the Press—l Christchurch and elsewhere. Three illus—Ations are given, showing Lytteltoa Harbor with the four shipa at anchor, _y£t»—on in 1851, and Chrut3hurch in ISM. They are well engraved from original sketches, and cannot tail to be prised by anyone at all interested in the Province, whether here or at home. In this thirty-six jean' retrospect there is recorded everything of importance connected with events. POLITICAL RELIGIOUS MUNICIPAL SPOBTING MUSICAL | DRAMATIC AND SOCIAL. . In short, every phase/ of the life of the | settlement haa been B_dlf__y and aceu--1 rately pourtrayed, and tht #hole fomi aa epitome of its early history which in future years, when the colony has grown far beyond its present limits, and when the' struggles of its founders have passed from personal remembrance, will be found more and more interesting by each succeeding generation.
