EARLY HISTORY OF NEW ZEALAND.
JfR. M'NAB'S RESEARCHES. Dr. Findlay, who preceded Mr. Robert M'Nab as speaker at the Mission to Seamen last evening, said that Mr. M'Nab had done monumental work for the early history of this country. Ho had spent years in putting on record work which as time rolled by would otherwise have been forgotten. Mr. M'Nab had preserved permanently the history of tho old sailing days in an excellent book, and ho believed that there was no man living who was a higher authority on the visits of tho early navigators to New Zealand. (Applause.) Mr M'N.-tb, in acknowledging these remarks, said that his researches had been a source of great pleasure to him during many years, and lie believed that numbers of people as the result of the work that had been made public had taken an interest in the history of their own country, and realised that it had a very ancient and attractive history of its own, and that tho work of piecing it together so that it could bo read as a wholo was work of no mean importance in developing a national spirit. (Hear, hear.)
