IN THE PEESS—TO BE PUBLISHED EARLY IN MAKCIT, IN CROWN QTJAKTO, A CENTENARY EDITION OF CAPT. COOK'S DESCRIPTION OF NE W ZEAL AN D, 100 YEAKS AGO; With Notes Anecdotes, 'Reminiscences, Sec, on the History, Topography, Natural History, and Ethnology, to illustrate Cook's Narrative. Maps and Views showing the progress of llio Discovery of New Zealand and the changes that have taken place iu the country. KDITED BY MAJOR CIIAS. lIEAriIY, V.C. JAMES COOK, the celebrated navigator, was tile first European who sot foot on New Zealand ; he landed on the east side if Turanpanui River, in Poverty Hay, Bth October, 17t;!> ; ther.ee lie sailed along the East Const, across the Hay of Plrntv. round Cape Colville, up the Gulf and Kiver Thames; then north, jounil North Cape, along the West Coast, through Cook strait, to Queen Charlotte's Pourcl. lie then sailed through t! C Strait, alone the East Coast of the Middle Island, round the South Cape, and returned along tln» "West Coast to Queen Charlotte's Sound ncain. Captain Cook left New Zealand on ;ilst .'.March. 1770. having spent six u:oiiths on the coast ; but although he re-visited the TERRA AISTKAI-IS INCOGNITA folir times, it was only during the first visit that, he sailed aU round and described the country—its inhabitants and product ions. ' It is now one hundred years since Captain Coot landed and took possession of these Islands, yet not one of the many elaborate and voluminous accounts of the country anil its inhabitants that have been published can be compared to that •which lie wrote ; in fact the best subsequent works are but supplementary to his simple yet compendious and accurate description. The forthcoming: publication has been compiled from the earliest edition of "Cook's Voyages,'"—the narrative being transcribed verbatim—explained and amplilied by r.otes and appendixes, bringing to bear the observations and experiences of the principal writers and travellcis of more recent times. Such an account ol'the changes in thecountry, physically ami politically, that have taken place during the past century cannot fail to be most interest - iup to the lovers of science- and history, and it is hoped may also assist in recording the customs of a race that is fast diminishing, and which has already lost many of its peculiar characteristics, "l he several places of which Cook gave illustrations will be shown by photographs or d awings. The work, which is intesdeii to form a first-class gift book, will be edited, illustrated, printed, and bound in Auckland. Price, to subscribers before publication, 10s. f>d. Xou-subscribers, 15s.
