Historic Pamphlet.
An interesting memento of the visit to New Zealand in the early days of Bishop Broughton, the first Australian bishop, whose centenary has been celebrated in Sydney, is in the possession of Mr. T. McDonnell, of Wanganui. It is a pamphlet on which is printed the full sermon delivered by the bishop at the first confirmation service held in New Zealand. The address, which was given at Paihia on January 5, 1839. was delivered in English and translated into Maori by the Rev. W. Williams. It was printed in pamphlet form in the Maori language, some 41X13 copies being distributed at the time. Of these, only two copies are known to exist to-day, the one owned by Mr. McDonnell and another which is in the of the Turnbull Library.
