G£O. GItEY, K.C.8., of an earlier and altoether less comprehensive edition has been published a ready, but it will bear repetition. He wrote: "I have tested it in many ways upon a great variety of useful subjects, and am satisfied that it is by far the best work of the kind 1 have ever seen. I feel that its merits and usefulness in relation to a’l practical subjects on which a settler’s comfort and Success depend render it a necessary appendage to every home in New Zealand.” Brief paragraphs from the opinions of other leading colonists on the edition (that of 1902) now offered as a bonus to our subscribers may also be given and read with advantage. SIR WILLIAM RUSSELL, M.H.R.. of Flaxmere, Hawke’s Bay, writing under date June 20th, 1902, says:—"Brett’s Colonists’ Guide and Cyclopaedia of Useful Knowledge reached me safely, and I soon commenced glancing through it, but quickly settled down to more careful examination, for I fond it what it professes to be—a most excellent guide, and quite cyclopaedic in its information. Any intelligent man starting a farm on his own account will be saved many blunders if he pays attention to what he can find in the ‘Colonists’ Guide,’ which is, in fact, a most useful and interesting handbook, well compiled, handy in form, and quite wor thy a place on every colonist’s bookshelf.” Mr. H. OVERTON, a leading agricultural authority in Canterbury, writing on July 17, says:—“The great variety of Information, touching upon almost every subject, makes the work a most interesting and instructive one for persons in all walks of life, but especially to the country settler. I can most confidently recommend the same as being the most useful and up-to-date work of Its class, and one which no home should be without.” Mr. ROBT. HALL, who holds a prominent position in the pastoral and agricultural community of Auckland Province writes under date of July 7, 1902:—"I have to acknowledge with thanks receipt of a copy of ‘Brett’s Colonists’ Guide,’ which I have perused. So far as I have a knowledge of the various matters dealt with in this compilation, I can, without hesitation, assert that throughout it is a most useful and reliable work, and should be In every settler’s home, as it deals with the various questions in connection with agriculture in a clear and intelligible form, easily understood, and sufficiently comprehensive.” An Offer Unique in the Annals of Colonial Journalism. • DO NOT DELAY.
