BOOK OF THE DAY WAIPU NOVA SCOTIANS The Gael Fares Forth. By N. R. McKenzie. Whitcombe and Tombs Ltd. 320 pp. (15/-.) Since his book was first issued in 1935 Mr McKenzie has gathered new material. This has been used to expand the appendices, chiefly, but also in the text, which has been corrected and rearranged. The work of revision has not been wasted on a fine piece of pioneer record, which will be welcomed by many readers who know only in outline the story here told in generous detail. It is that of the migration which carried a community •ol Scots from their first settlement in Nova Scotia to New Zealand, between 1851 and 1859, and established them, about 1000 strong, at and near Waipu. The qualities which urged the Nova Scotians to their enterprise made them a remarkable and influential group in their new land; and Mr McKenzie’s book is not least valuable as an account of the permanence of their tradition and its various fruitfulness.
