Description: 'The Maori children . . . are very docile and obedient. In bringing them up, the parents seldom have recourse to personal chastisement, believing that it has the effect of damaging the spirit of the child. At an early age, they acquire great self-respect, and at public discussions they will be seen seated around the outer circle, attentive, grave, and thoughtful listeners.'--p.23

Description: "Hursthouse, after visiting America, spent five years in New Plymouth and became an enthusiastic advocate for Taranaki & New Zealand. Written during a deceptive, end-of-decade calm when it seemed all that the district's problems could be solved without conflict, it reflects strongly the settler viewpoint on race relations. Its incisive, factual, if sanguine summary gives essential information on the descriptive and historical background, statistics, retail prices of basic commodities, choice of land, section prices and agricultural practice, etc." -- Bagnall, 2709.

Description: "Impressions from a six months visit, p.[223]-382, filled out by generous quotations from Chamber's papers for the people, Earp and others. Puseley's extravagant candour is some reward for the tedium of perusal: Australia, 'The most objectionable of all British dependencies' in contrast with New Zealand 'the finest colony in the world', qualified by a perceptive slant on provincial parochialism. Nelson, his chosen settlement a short length ahead of Canterbury, Otago then torn by its fratricidal divisions, well behind, with Wellington hampered by 'terrestrial and social drawbacks'. His freedom of comment is nevertheless matched by some balanced and encouraging advice to emigrants, the works ostensible purpose." Bagnall 4734
