HART, 28 St. Mary Axe, London, E.C 22n ' WILL SHORTLY BE PUBLISHED, \ ' IN TUB ATAGO WITNESS, : • CHAPTER I. 1 . OK "THE QUEEN OF THE PACIFIC," An Historical Romance, By "Abdul." The story is a vision of New Zealand » hundred or more years hence. England and her Empire are supposed to have declined, and to have fallen as did .•Rome's, and her nobles and people have carried their wealth to the now dependent Colonies. An English emperor rules over a federated and prosperous Empire of \ Australia. New Zealand is an allied and independent Monarchy, ruled by a limited King, and possessing all the benefits, without any of the deficiencies, ;of the. English Constitution as it now exists. England's maritime and naval supremacy and her commercial greatness have become the legacy ofi'New Zealand; and the ships and men-of-war of the Queen of the Pacific rule the ocean. She ia a pqwe of j the fir^t order— rich, flourishing, prosperous, andfr«ie.? All enormous resources which the islands are known in our day to possess, in the shape of coal iron, and ofher minerals,, are supposed to have developed, themselves with even greater results than England beheld in her miierat wealth. The country is thickly 'populated, covered with, a network' of railways, and studded with .large manufacturing towns. Her harbours are large and magnificent, and hold a great fleet of war vessels. Her ambassadors are at all} foreign Courts. Science and art have reached their culmination, and have produced new and strange results. In a word, our Colony is the seat of a rich and powerful nation. The romance is supposed to be written by two travellers, who have passed over the length and breadth of the kingdom of New Zealand, and they enter fully into a discussion upon her social institutions and other points of interest* As a guarantee that this story will not be wanting in literary merit, we ha/c only to remind our readers that "Abdul" was the author of the "Political Portraits," and of the interesting letters "Via San Francisco," which appeared not long ago in our columns. Subscription, £1 2s Cd per annum; I2s per halfyear ;6s 6d per quarter; payable in advance.
