It presents n life-like picture of Maori lift and character in days of old— written by ne whose experience among the natives <md groat powers of observation hare eminently qualified him for tlie task. A work of thli nature Is tht more valuable, inasmuch as tho scenes it so racily and humorously depicts are no longer to bt witnessed— young New Zealand having sadly degenerated in many respects— and only live in the memories of a comparatively few early settlers and missionaries." [FKOK Tax "OTAOO DAILY TIMES."] "This is a most enttrtalnlng, and at tlit same time a very remarkable book. Written by a man who has passed the best years of his life among the native inhabitants of New Zealand, it gives an extraordinary clear idea of the state of society in the good old times, which The Pakeha-Maori in the tru* laudator Umporls actl, pathetically amcnU a« gone, never to return.
