“ A GREAT COLONISER” “ This work gives a wonderfully vivid account of the career of Dr Burns, who ia described as one of the great unknown men of the British Empire. Both in Scotland and New Zealand and, indeed, wherever the colonising power of the Scots is appreciated, this handsomely produced volume by one of the largest publishing firms in Dunedin will be read with interest. The story of the negotiations which led up to the settlement of the Scottish party in New Zealand is told by Dr Herrington with consummate skill.” The foregoing is a further appreciation by a Home reviewer of this book—a very suitable Christmas gift—which is obtainable from booksellers or from the publishers, the Otago Daily Times and Witness Company, Box 181, Dunedin; price 7s 6d, plus postage 4d. —Advt.
