NOW READY. NOW READY. A GREAT COLONISER: The Rev. Dr. THOMAS BURNS Pioneer Minister of Otago, New Zealand, and nephew of the poet Robert Bums. By the Rev. Dr. E. N. Merrington, Master of Knox College, Dunedin. In this book the author traces the interesting life-story of the Rev. Dr. Thomas Burns. It is an important contribution to the history of colonisation, which has been called " the romance of the nineteenth century.” The letters of Burns to Cargill, written during the four years which followed the Scottish Disruption, now published for the first time, reveal the apparently insurmountable obstacles which confronted the leaders of the proposed Scottish enterprise, and the spirit in which the difficulties were finally overcome. The book describes the voyage of the pioneers, the hardships of the early days, the successful establishment of the church, the school, the town of Dunedin, and the province of Otago. This biography will do Now ready (with illustrations). much to re-create the remarkable personality of a Presbyterian minister to whom a noble column stands in the heart of Dunedin, but whose real monument might almost be said to be the churches, schools, colleges, and even the university of the province which he did so much to establish. e It is well for students of Scottish history and future historians of the Empire to note that, from Mossgiel, there emanated not only songs which have delighted the world, and have knit together Scotchmen all the world over, but also an earnest Christian imnister, with statesmanlike gifts, who played a 1 most important part in extending and strengthening our Empire in a far-away part of the globe."—The Rev. Dr Kirkwood HeWat. M.A., F.S.A. (Scot.). Price, 7/6 (postage 4d extra). Address orders to Manager Otago Daily Times aitd Witness Co., P.O. Box 181 r Dunedin.
