INTEODUCTION.
The litoi-iiture relating to New Zealand is not only unusually interest-
ing but is unusually extensive. Fifty years ago, in the preface to his
fascinating " Story of New Zealand," Dr. Thomson stated that at
that time, and when the colony was but twenty years old, there had
been printed concerning it no less than ninety volumes, two hundred
pamphlets, and a hundredweight of parliamentary papers. The sub-
joined sketch will further indicate how numerous have been the stirring
incidents and important events making the history of this young
country ; and these have, fortunately, never lacked the service of
competent chroniclers.
From the time when Tasman first placed on the map of the globe
that streak, so like a note of interrogation, which announced his dis-
covery of New Zealand there has attached to it an unabated and
curious interest. To him it was the Ultima Thule of the world, and
it represented a part of that geographical Will-o'-the-wisp, the Terra
Australis Incognita, which so long engaged the quarrelsome contro-
versies of the learned in their attempts to provide for the due balance
of the globe itself.
When the genius of Cook — " Oceani investigator acerrimus " — so
accurately unfolded its coasts, and so graphically told its first story, a
halo of romance gathered round it which was never wholly dispersed
until the advent of steam and electricity.
Bold sailors approached its shores with dread, for within them were
enacted terrible scenes of ferocity, massacre, and cannibalism. Yet
in strong contrast were the peaceful labours of the Protestant mission,
almost the earliest in Pacific seas, and founded by the apostolic Mars-
den. By them, as is usual with such labours, was the way prepared
for future trade and settlement. Moved by the spirit of adventure
and of scientific research, voyagers, chiefly of English and French
nationality, were from the first attracted to the little-known shores.
The records of these visits, together with the letters and journals of

The time at length arrived when peimanent settlement was accom-
plished l>v the New Zealand (\tmpaiiy nnder the scheme devised hy

opposed and thwarted hy the powerful Church Missionary Society,
and endanj^'ered hy the (h'si^ns of the I'^rcnch. Whilst these events
no douht contrihute larjiely to the nunilMrof those documents whose
weijiht is computed hy Dr. Thomson in a\ oirdupois, they loini another
important iiistoric chajiter.
So raised to the status of a British colony, the siu'cessi\e event
in its history never lacked the old (|ualities of stirrinji; incid<'nt and
interest. Amongst these may be noted the mode of its early develop-
ment by means of various semi-isolated special settlements ; the
tierce and repeated struggles of the colonists with a native race in-
telligent though savage ; and the important concession of self-govern-
Uient, Avhich \vas amongst the earliest conferred upon the colonies.
This latter boon was speedily" followed by an exceedingly active poli-
tical life. Add to all this the unusual good fortune of having amongst
the pioneers and founders of the colony men of distinction and cul-
ture, and the materials for an extensive literature are again evident.
Untrammelled by old traditions, New- Zealand has of late years
imposed upon herself the task of grappling anew with many of those
social problems which the Mother-country has in vain endeavoured
to solve. What the result may be lies in the future, but the present
strenuous efforts of the daughter colony are watched with absorbing
interest by many outside her borders, and have already added anothei-
weighty chapter to recent histo^}^
Although the bright skies, exhilarating climate, and glorious
scenery of New Zealand, apart from events in its history, abundantly
provide material from which the poet, painter, novelist, and he w^ho
treads the more arduous paths of literature draw life and inspiration,
still the genius to worthily unfold and interpret such treasures has
not yet descended.
The birth of the poet is still awaited. Perhaps his advent is not
far distant, and may, indeed, be heralded by that yearly increasing
burden of song, which here and there is lightened by undoubted talent^
rhythm, and beauty. Perhaps incessant struggle with the hardships
of colonial life has hitherto stifled that emotional quality which.
Intuoduotion.
deeply stirring the niiiul ami lu'art, is indeed the veritable touchstone
of true poetry.
Something akin may be asserted of the painter and his art. Whilst
New Zealand scenery has been depicted by two or three accomplished
artists with a force and spirit worthy of comparison with the best
examples, yet the superior height of genre and historical painting
has been but little attempted, despite the wealth of available material.
To this assertion one or two exceptions should be made, as in " The
Setting-out of the Maori from Hawaiki " and " The Coming of the
Maori," both in the Auckland Public Gallery. Special studies await-
ing the artist's brush are incidents in the descry by Tasman, the dis-
covery by Cook, the introduction of the Gospel by Samuel Marsden,
the arrival of the first settlers, and the signing of the Treaty of Wai-
tangi. The literature to assist in the interpretation of these subjects
is abundant, and is set forth in the following pages.
Fiction and the lighter class of literature have mostly taken the
shape of serial and descriptive story, with little attempt so far to
emulate the culture and sustained effort of the best novelists. With
regard to scientific, historical, and certain other literary work the
case is, happily, different, and it may truly be averred that no young
country has contributed so much of a high character to the general
stock of such knowledge as New Zealand,
After Dr. Thomson's very full list, which is appended to the second
volume of his work, and contains nearly five hundred references, the
iirst attempt at New Zealand bibliography was made by Mr. J. 1).
D^vis, of Auckland, whose small volume (q.i:) appeared in 1887.
As the title indicates, it is incomplete, and it is, moreover, often in-
correct. In 1889 appeared the bibliography by Mr. J. Collier, the
former accomplished librarian of the General Assembly Library at
Wellington. This gentleman possessed every qualification for his
task, and the present author expresses his sincere regret that ill health
and consequent departure from New Zealand prevented Mr. Collier
from pursuing such further literary work as would no doubt have
included a more complete second edition.
The volume now before the reader is the outcome of continuous
research undertaken through a long series of years in the intervals of
leisure from the demands of an exacting profession. A cursory in-
spection will show how frequently ttie author has strayed from the
ordinary track of a bibliography. He has introduced many little
sidelights, biographical references, dates, and other special points,
and an attempt has been made to run throughout a thread of his-
torical interest.

known works, surh as Tlievenot. de Mrosses, Callantler, |)alrvnij)le. the
rarly French vovujjers, \V(«l>lter, An^jis. and others. The idea was
that the cont«Mits of those rare volumes beinjj thus, as it wen-, focussed
inijiht prove of great assistance to the student eiif-af^ed in a sj)ecial
lino of research. Similarly are collected at some leiiiith many |)nl)lica-
tions of another class, hut also of rarity, such as the rej)orts of the New
/A'uland Company, the ("olottin/ (iazcHv, the \cw Zealand Jotirnai., the
Auniralian and .Vcm- Zealand (uizette, the Karere Maori, and the (iovern-
vt*'iit (iaztiie. The last of these, in its earlier numhers at least, is not
only rare, hut extremely puzzlinji to collate.
Whilst every elTort has heen made to make (his rofonl complete,
it is probable that many items must have escaped enumeration. Any
such omissions are almost certainly of little moment, and it is ncjt
unlikely that they are chiefly confined to the long list of versifiers
whose contributions, as before stated, form a yearly heavy burden.
This seems the proper place to thank Mr. Bertram Stevens, of Sydney,
for the long list of recent versifiers to be found in the Addenda.
Though the chronological order has been adhered to throughout
this work, the index is a corrective to the difficulty that might be
found by a student in searching for any particular subject of which
he desires to make a special study. A feature of the index is that it
provides a series of " subject heads."
A word should here be said with regard to the enumeration of the
newspapers of the colony. The number of these is so extensive that
the author decided to detail those alone which were issued during
the earlier days of the colony.
The recent increasing association between New Zealand and the
Antarctic makes it advisable to specify Dr. Mill's important biblio-
graphy of between eight and nine hundred references which is ap-
pended to the Royal Geographical Society's " Antarctic Manual,"
published in 1901. Dr. Cockayne has also published a bibliography
relative to the outlying islands of New Zealand and elsewhere, in the
" Transactions of the New Zealand Institute " for 1903, Vol. xxxvi,
p. 326.
It but remains to express the ai.thor's most grateful thanks to
the Government Printing Department for unremitting care and
attention during the progress of this work. The Government Printer
has taken great interest in it, both before and since it was placed. in
liis hands. The Supervisor's remarkable knowledge of his work has
Intkoduction.
been of the most constant and inestimable value. The Reader, upon
whom the compilation of the index principally devolved, has also
rendered invaluable service. To his work may well be applied the
Maori saying on the title-page, " He maki nui rawa alu " — " Truly
this is a very laborious deed." No pains have been spared to make
the index comprehensive and copious.
The end sought will be accomplished if the student derives as
much satisfaction and advantage from the use of this bibliography
as the author has derived pleasure from its preparation.

liisman's voyage is taken chioHy from Francois Valciilijn (" The Old
and New l-jist Indies," 172l>). oollatod with I)e Hondt, R<wul)ranjit, and
others (vide Vo\. ji, p. G(>). The plates rclatinjj to New Zealand are — 1. The
Continent south of the Horky Point [the Steeples] ; '2. Staten I^ndt, or the
States Ijind. south of the Roeky Point [Cape Foidwind and Westport] ;
:i. \'iew of Murderers' Hay [Colden, or Massacre, IJay); 4. Abel Tasnian'B
Uay [Blind Hay]: 5. ThrtH- Kings' Island.
The author's translation of these Sjtanish and Duteh voyages is aj)-
j>arently faithful, anil is aeeonii)anietl by numerous eritieal remarks, notes,
and references, and a full index. The work was published before Cajitain
Cook's return from his first voyage. Alexander Dalrymiile (1737-1808)
was hydrogray)her to the Admiralty, and an able writer. He lirmly believed
in the existence of that geogra\>hical will-o'-the-wisp, a southern continent
(the ti-rra nii.stralis incognita). Chagrined at Cook's ai>pointment to the
command of the " Endeavour," instead of himself, he j)ut trilling value on
the discoveries of that great sailor, which he criticizetl mercilessly, reiterating
his old theory.

Dalrymple, A., and Franklin, l>. Scheme of a Voyage to convey the
Conveniences of Life, Domestic Animals, Corn, Iron, etc., to New Zealand,
with Dr. Benjamin Franklin's Sentiments upon the Subject. By Alexander
Dahyraple. I>ondon, Aug. 29th, 1771.
Ajipears in " Dodsley's Annual Register " for 1779.
So keen was the interest excit^-d by Cook's account of New Zealand
that this odd scheme was devised to help the poor natives. Perhajis Dai-
ry niple's jealousy of Cook was the motif, as the former ollered and ex]jected
to command the expedition. At any rate, it is the first systematic proposal
tj connect the two countries.

London, in 1882 (6<) printed).

The voyage was undertaken at the special request of the Royal Society
to observe the Transit of Venus in 1769 at Otaheite (Tahiti). Cook, with his^
comj)anions Banks and Solander, left Plymouth Sound Augu.st 26, 1768,
and returned July 12, 1771, from Otaheite ; reached New Zealand (Poverty
Bay) October 8, 1769, and there remained until March 31, 1770, when he
.sailed for the east coast of Xew Holland (Botany Bay). Took ))ossession of
the Xorth Island Xovember, 1769, at .Mercury Bay, and of the South Island
January 30. 1770, at Queen Charh^tte's Sound. Gives a general account
of Xew Zealand, its rliscovery, climate, and productions ; the natives, their
manner of life, implements and weapons, religion and language. On p. 47+
ei -wq. of Vol. iii (1st ed.) is some compari.son of the dialects of the North and
South Islands and of Otaheite, and reasons against the existence of a southern
continent.
Dr. John Hawkesworth (1715-73), an able literary man, was appointed
by the Admiralty, through the influence of his friend Gamck, the actor,,
to compile and edit these voyages, for which it has been stated, but incor-

In this rare " tract " or j)amphlet Dahymple bitterly criticizes Cook's
voyage in the "' Endeavour," as edited by Hawkesworth, whom he accuses
of ignorance and unfitness for his task. He asserts that the reasons adduced
against the e.xistence of a southern continent are quite inconclusive, and
those in favour ignored. Dated 22nd June, 1773, when Cook had been
ten months on his second voyage ; hence from him there could be no reply ;
Hawkesworth replies in the 2nd ed. of his " Account," &c.

founded together the two issues of 1773 and 1784, as here given. Jackson's
catalogue, though most valuable, is often faulty.

by way of exercise . . . reserved their labours to gratify their friends. Of
this kind is the journal now submitted to the public." The preface discloses
considerable knowledge of jirivate matters connected with the voyage, and
gives an account of the cau.ses which led Mr. Banks and his staff to with-
draw in high dudgeon from the expedition at the last moment. ( Vide also

The above contain t'ook's second voyage, as well as the two Forsters'

It was understood that the aeeovnit of this, Cook's second voyage, should
be WTitten by Forster the elder (J. R.), naturalist of the expedition. This
arrangement failed, being virtually 'forbidden by the Admiralty. Not to
be foiled, this account was undertaken by his son, .John (ieorge Adam
(17i>4-!t;3), a young man of but twenty-two, "assisted" by his father, and
it anticipated Cook's narrative by three or four months. Whilst condemn-
ing the method, the result proved a valuable jwssession. The same veto
doubtless further resulted in the " Observations," &c., of J. R. Forster.
The illustrations, being the joint property of Captain Cook and Forster, are
the same as in Cook.
A fluent and most interesting account of the voyage, with much new
matter. New Zealand visited three times. It begot controversial pamphlets
from Wales, the astronomer, a " Reply," and a " Letter to Lord Sandwich "
iq.v.), in which Forster has certainly the best of the argument.

John Ledyard (1751-88) was an adventurous American of some educa-
tion. Visiting England, he entered as corporal of marines under Captain
Cook, then about to sail on his third voyage. Of this he kept a journal,,
which was claimed by the Admiralty. On his return to America he wToto
another account from memory, as above, parts of which differ from the
ordinary' version of the voyage, especially that which relates to Cook's death.
He died at Cairo, when about to explore in Africa on behalf of the African
A.ssociation. ( Vidt; his " Life.")

with one of the iron daggers bartered to the natives a few days before. The
conduct of the lieutenant severely censured. Gives admirable pen-and-ink
sketch of Cook, and considers Shcrwin's ]ilate, after Daiice, most excellent
likeness, " the only one I have seen that bears any resemblance to him."
Cannot say when or whence venereal disease was introduced, or whether

The logs of these voyages were sid^mitted to Mr. Wales for revision
and calculation of their data. In the case of the " Endeavour " this was
specially necessary, owing to the death during the voyage of Mr. Green, the
astronomer, whose papers were left in confusion, and imperfect. The work

E. G. Wakefield (1700-1802) was sentenced to Newgate, and his brother
to Lancaster Gaol, for three years. Here, contemplating the crime and
misery around him, and their causes, he initiated that statesmanlike career
which residted in the improvement of penal laws, of emigration, colonial land-
purcliase, and that extensive system of colonisation known by his name.
His first publication was "' Ix'tters from Sydney," 1829 {q.c).
In John Hull newspaper (IS20 ':) is an account, in several close columns,
of this remarkable epi.sode and tiial, signed by him.self. This is availed of in
the Linr/xjol ('onritr of 2r)th March, 1899. In Blackwood, May, 1827, is a
lengthy discussion upon the Gretna Green marriage aspect. Another account
is in the Macclesfield Courier, and is copied into the JJau-kr'.s Bay Herald
of 27th DecemlR-r, 1802.

twenty years to experiment on the best mode of preparing flax and hemp.
New Zealand flax he considers by far the best. " Mine are the first and only

He angrily describes his ineffectual efforts to induce the Admiralty Board
to use liis New Zealantl manufactures and so save thousands a year. Exten-

The author of this work was E. G. Wakefield, who writes in a brilliant,
vigorous 8tyle upon questions of social economy then agitating all classes —
the increase of wealth and misery, uneasiness of the middle classes, free
trade, superabundant population, and slavery in America. The 2nd volume
is chiefly devoted to a consideration of the relief of these conditions by means
of his " Art of Colonization," which he now develops at some length, simi-
marising the growing movement on the subject, and giving a list of im-
poitant pamphlets, &c. The appendix contains correspondence between the
(Government and some persons desirous of foimding a colony in South
Australia.

A 2nd ed., much abridged, appeared in 1838 (Svo; pp. 602, and app.
304 ; double columns ; seals and the charters of the colonies reproduced).
Afterwards recast, with additions, under the title of " British Colonial
Library, comprising a Popular and Authentic Description of all the Colonies
of the British Empire, fownded on Official and Public Documents, fur-
nished by Government and the H.E.I. C." ; maps and plates; 10 vols, or

Excepting that of 1834, the editions are inost puzzling to collate. Some
are undated, and wore issued in parts of 32 pages each, afterwards being
bound into volumes of varying thickness. The labour entailed in them
is as enormous as it is valuable, and the author keenly felt the little recogni-
tion and assistance vouchsafed by the Government. He was born in 1803,
And die<l in 1868.

late Richard Cunningham, Colonial Botanist in New South Wales," giving
an account of his botanical explorations in New Zealand in 1833-34. On
his return to New South Wales he accompanied Major Mitchell's expedition
into the interior. Wandering from his party, ho was murdered by the blacks
in April, 1835, having just attained his 42nd year. His brother Allan, who
succeeded him as Colonial Botanist, ananged his New Zealand notes and
collections (together with those of his own) in an extensive series of articles.
The first three appear in this volume, and are entitled " Florse Insularum

Almost the first step in the colonisation of New Zealand was taken
with this report. E. G. Wakefield was the principal witness, and in his
reply to question 9(51 he recommends this " most beautiful country, with
the finest climate and most productive soil," as being the fittest in the world
for colonisation. At the close of the examination Mr. H. G. Ward, the
chairman, promised to assist Mr. Wakefield in any undertaking of the sort.

and religious establishment is necessary for the well-being of the country.

This iinportimt journal was published in connection with the Colonial
Society, which was formed in July, 1837, for the purpose of watching over
the interests of the colonies of the Empire. In August, 1839, it passed into
the hands of the conductors of the Spectator, notably Mr. Rintoul. It is
replete with the most varied and si)ecial information regarding all the British
colonies — -parliamentary and other news, trade, shipping, and every con-
ceivable question relating to them. Its details connectcxl with the earliest
steps of Now Zealand colonisation are full and important, and the advent
of the New Zealand Journal in 1840 by no means detracted from its special
notices of the young colony. In 1847 it changed its title to that of West

The " Official Documents," of which the originals are to be found in

Sydney, 9th September, 1837. stating that he had requested Captain
Hobson, of the " Rattlesnake," to visit New Zealand, and to suggest
the best means of securing the common interests of natives and settlers.
This encloses (2) Captain Hobson's reply, dated Port Jackson, 8th August,
1837, containing details cf observations, and suggesting a form of British
jurisdiction. It also encloses (3) a long letter from Mr. Busby, British
Resident at New Zealand, dated Bay of Islands, 16th June, 1837, epitomizing
state of natives, Europeans, missionaries, and jurisdiction, and affirming
the advantages of established authority. (4.) Petition to the King from
200 British settlers in New Zealand re de Tlvierry's proposed usurpation,
and asldng for protection. From these Dr. Hinds, in his " Introductory
Observations," supports the proposals of the New Zealand Association,
and temperately replies to Messrs. Beecham and Coates.
Dr. Hinds (1792-1872) was afterwards Dean of Carlisle and Bishop of
Norwich. A firm friend of New Zealand cclonisatiou.

This Committee was appointed on the motion of Lord Devon, a supporter
of the New Zealand Association, and sat from the 3rd April to the 21st May.
The evidence abounds in history and information regarding the country,
natives, missionaries, traders, and proposed colonisation. The witnesses
were J. L. Nicholas, the companion of Rev. S. Marsden in 1814 ; Watkins,
surgeon, 1833-34 ; Flatt, catechist, 1834-37 ; Montefiore, Sydney merchant,
1830 ; Enderby, south whale-fishery, from 1794 ; Polack, trader, 1831-37 ;
Rev. F. Wilkinson, 1837; Tawell, surgeon, 1837; Nayti, the New-Zea-
lander who returned to New Zealand in the " Tory " ; Captain Fitzroy,
of the " Beagle " ; Rev. J. Beecham, Coates, and Garratt, of the missionary
societies ; EUiott, Agent-General for Emigration (gives much information
on the subject) ; and Lord Petre, Hinds, Baring, and Dr. Evans, members
of the New Zealand Association.
Because of the opposition to the Committee and to the scheme the
resolutions were vague — " The question of colonial extension was one of
public poHcy, and for the Government to decide ; if support were given, it
should be in the direction which had already advanced the native welfare."

Asserts, as result of past experience, that the scheme of the New Zealand
Association must probably fail. It lacks justice and the chance of success,
and would injure the natives, who are progressing under missionary efforts,

Written on Dr. Lang's fifth voyage to England, in the " Roslin Castle,"
which put into the Bay of Islands for a few days in a leaky state in January,
1839 : 1st, demoralised Europeans are ruining a fine native race, and it is
imperative Government should found a British colony on Christian principles ;
2nd, a bitter diatribe on the Church missionaries and their mixed plan of
evangelising ; 3rd, the high suitability of New Zealand for colonisation ; 4th,
the best means of colonising. The appendix, " South Sea Islands," gives an
account of the treatment of the Tahitians in 1838 by Du Petit-Thouars, captain
of the French frigate " La Venus." Contains many little pieces of history
and scandal, list of vessels visiting the Bay of Islands in 1838, and 10 pages
on the origin of the Polynesians. (Vide Tail's Magazine, n.s., vi, 61 L)

The " Coquille," under the command of Captain Duperrey, visited the
Bay of Islands in April, 1824, remaining fifteen days. The official liistory
of the voyage was not published, and the only contributions to it are in these
volumes and in the "Observations personelles " of M. D'Urville, then an
officer of the vessel, published in Vol. iii, p. 673, of the "Voyage of the
' Astrolabe,' " q.v. M. Lesson was naturalist of the " Coquille." His observa-
tions are general, being almost confined to an account of the natives and
the language, of which there is a vocabulary, chiefly taken from Lee and
Kendall's grammar, which had been published shortly before.

Treats of emigration and colonisation in an able and philosophical
manner, and A\ith special reference to New Zealand, which " should be
colonized in preference to every other country," and for which an elaborate
plan of settlement is propounded. This " plan, with the exception of several
amendments, was laid before a member of the present Government by the
MTiter several years ago " (p. 169). Criticizes unfavourably Wakefield's
"■ sufficient j'l'i^o " system.
This author claims to have anticipated Darwin's theory of natural
selection, in his work on " Naval Timber, &c.," pubhshed in 183L The
claim was advanced in the Gardeners' Chronicle of 7th April, 18G0, a few
months after the appearance of the " Origin of Species," and is admitted by
Darwin, who considers it " a complete but not developed anticipation "
(vide " Life and Letters, &c.," Vol. ii, p. 301 et seq.).

New Zealand, then a dependency of New South Wales, was being ex-
ploited by land-sharks, some of whom asserted their claim to hiigh blocks
of land purchased from the natives. The object of the Bill was to inquire
into land -titles and to disallow exorbitant claims. The right of possession
following on discovery of a savage country belongs to the sovereign, who
alone permits the formation of colonies and the granting of land-titles.
John Walpole Willis, appointed first Judge of the Port Phillip District
in 1841, is credited with the preparation of this most able speech.
Government Gazettes (Collation ofj.
The earliest are difficult to collate. An account of them is in " The
Beginnings of Literature in New Zealand : Part ii, the English Section —
Newspapers," by Dr. Hocken (Trans. N.Z. Inst., Vol. xxxiv, pp. 99-114).
There was also much confusion after the territorial divisions of New Zealand
in 1847 into New Ulster and New Munster.
The first Gazettes were printed in the columns of the second newspaper
issued in New Zealand — the New Zealand Advertiser and Bay of Islands
Gazette, Vol. i. No. 1, Kororarika, 15th June, 1840. In this number appears :
" The Gazette. New Zealand. Notice is hereby given that all communi-

Zealand Government Gazette resumed publication. There was, however, much
irregularity and confusion, from the fact that numbers were issued from both
Auckland and Wellington. Hence there are errors in nomenclature, pagina-

The noble race of Xew-Zealanders should be treated by outgoing colonists
with justice, equality, and friendship. Numerous suggestions oiJered with
this view. An expansion of the author's essay in " The British Colonization
of X'^ew Zealand," 1837. Extracts from it are also in his " Justice to X'^.Z.,"
18G1. The appenchx suggests a form of Constitution for X"ew Zealand, a
Lord-Lieutenant, a Senate consisting of landed proprietors and native chiefs,
and, in due time, representation.

Written in the interests of the New Zealand Company until July, 1850,
when that body surrendered its charter to the Government. Contains a
most comprehensive, continuous, and often fascinating history of New
Zealand affairs from 1840 onward. Its extensive repertory, including the
annals and proceedings of the Company and its relations with the Colonial
Office, reports of the Imperial and colonial Legislatiu-es, copious extracts
from the British and New Zealand Press, extensive correspondence, and
journals of expeditions, &c., renders it absolutely necessary fcr the student
of New Zealand history. Many long and important articles, signed " W.."
are by Edward Wakefield, the father of Edward Gibbon Wakefield.
Until December, 1843, and prior to his departure for New Zealand, it
was edited by Henry Samuel (afterwards Mr. Justice) Chapman (1803-81),
of the Middle Temple ; then by William Bridges, actuary and secretary
of the New Zealand Society (not the Company), and afterwards of the Mitre
Life Office, and writer of " New Zealand and Ireland," &c. {q.v.) ; then by
George Butler Earp, a returned New Zealand colonist, member of the
Legislative Council, and author of " Handbook for Emigrants" {q.v.) ; and,
last of all, nominally by William Bowler, an officer of the Canterbury
Association, but in fact by E. G. Wakefield.
With No. 283, 5th October, 1850, it ceased publication and became
amalgamated with the Au-straliayi Gazette, under the title of The Australian
and New Zealand Gazette (q.v.), whose first number was issued 19th October.
The new journal, ho\^ever. failed to give that support to the Canterbury
scheme expected from it, and, moreover, in No. 8 it vented a bitter remark
upon Wakefield and his colonising schemes, exasperated, -without doubt, by
1840] New Zealand Literature. 85

some breach of faith of the old proprietary. This resulted in the Joumat
resuming publication with No. 284, 1st February, 1851, and it continued
until its 331st number, Gth November, 1852, when it again and finally was
incorporated with the Gazette.

These are 35 in number, and are all very rare, dating from 14th Ma}-,
1840, to 27th May, 1858, though two or three mere balance-sheets appeared
later. At first they were issued annually. The only complete set known
to the writer is in the Colonial Office, Do\TOing Street ; his own lacks the
28th, 29th, 30th, and 34th. They contain a vast amount of valuable New-
Zealand history, which is by no means confined to the Company's operations
in the colonisation and settlement of the country. The appendix to the
12th report is a special example of tliis. Many supplements and other docu-
ments, noticed below, were issued with them. The New Zealand Journal,
Colonial Gazette, Times, Morning Chronicle, and Spectator usually reprinted
the reports, with leaders and reports of the meeting. The first governor or
chairman of the Company was the Earl of Durham, who died in 1840 ; the
second, Mr. Joseph Somes, an eminent London merchant, who died in 1845 r
and, last, the Hon. Francis Baring.

The appendices are numerous and valuable — various lists and dates are given
from 1825 ; Acts of Parhament connected with colonies from 1784 ; list of
books, reports, and other pubhcations on New Zealand and colonisa,tion
generally ; portions of important correspondence tlu'oughout the life of the
Company ; and extracts from the Journal du Havre, 1840, and the Journal
des Debats, regarding the French intentions towards New Zealand. (These
are given at full length in the loth report.) Notice is given that on the
30th June the offices of the New Zealand Company will be closed, and
that afterwards communications must be sent to the solicitors, Messrs. Few
and Co.
The Company's vast correspondence, documents, &c., perhaps weighing
some tons, was handed over to the Colonial Office in 1850, at the surrender
of the charters. In 1903 the writer spent some months at the Record Office
in going through and tabulating the wliole of these documents for the British
Government, with the agreeable result that this priceless mass of historical
material was presented to the New Zealand Government in 1906.
Two or three mere balance-sheets appear after 1858.

Prompted and promoted by the New Zealand Company, an influential
meeting of merchants, l)ankers, shipowners, and others was held at the Guild-
hall on the 15th April, 1840, to petition Parliament in favour of systematic
colonisation of New Zealand and to preserve it to the Crown. The petition
Avas presented to the House of Commons on the 22nd May, and a Committee
of inquiry was appointed on the 7th July. This report was the outcome, and
was favourable. The witnesses were E. G. Wakefield, Saxe Bannister, John
Blackett, R.N., John Ward, Daadeson Coat«s, Rev. Drs. Hinds and Beecham,
Charles Enderby, W. Hutt, and Alex. Busby. Their evidence gives an ac-
count of the natives and their lands, mission labours, origin and history
of the New Zealand Company, and the necessity for government and regu-
lated colonisation, and is thus valuable and historical. The appendix contains
an account of Captain Hobson's transactions, the purchase of Port Nicholson,
correspondence with the Government. &c., and a copy of the petition, which
will also be found in the New Zealand Journal, No. 6, p. 67.

Due to Captain D'Urville's calamitous death by cremation in a railway
accident, t^ie work of completing the " History of the Voyage " from Vol. iii
devolved on his fellow-companion M. Dumoulin. Parts of Vols, viii and ix
(from Pith December, 1839. to 4th May, 1840) are devoted to Van Diemen's
Land, the Auckland Isles, the claims to Antarctic discovery by Commodore
Wilkes in the United States Exploring Expedition, and to New Zealand,
and these are supplemented with copious notes by members of the expedi-
tion. Four days in April were spent in Port Otago, of which an illustration
is given, with an account of the whaling settlement and the wretched condi-
tion of the natives and their chief Taiaroa ; Akaroa and neighbourhood,
and its suitability as a settlement for the expected French emigrants. The
Bay of Islands was entered on 26th April, where a week's stay was made
during the excitement consequent upon Governor Hobson's arrival and the
signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. Account cf Kororareka ; interview with
Baron de Thierry; the missionaries; the whalers; and opposition to the new
colonisation.
This was D'Urville's third visit to New Zealand. On the first occasion
it was under Duperrey, as lieutenant in the " Coquille," in 1824; then as
commander of the "Astrolabe" (which was the " CoquiUe " renamed), in
1827 ; and la.st as above.

Like all the voyages published by the French Government, tliis is a

Much of the New Zealand Messenger is of great rarity, and its collation
often difficult. Dr. Edward Shortland was the editor of its first section —
that to the end of 1845.

Probably publication here ceased owing to the continuance of the war
in the north.
In an altered form — demy fol.. the size of the newspapers of the day
— it was resumed on the 5th January, 1849 (vide the Southern Cross and
the New Zealander of this date). The latter paper blames Governor Grey
for neglecting the issue of so important and valuable a paper earlier.

and other matter of interest to both races — Sir George Grey's expedition
to Taranaki overland, various lectures. &c. It was partly edited by Mi.
David Burn, who came from Tasmania, where lie pubhshed two vols, of
" Plays and Fugitive Pieces." He was connected with the New Zealander^
Southern Cross, and New Zealand Herald, and died about 1876.
The Maori Messenger. | Te Karere Maori. This appeared under a new
shape, sm. 4to, in bright-coloured wrapper, with table of contents, and was
at first issued monthly, until 1858, when it appeared fortnightly ; double
columns, alternately English and Maori. It contains much important
historical matter, native speeches, conferences with Europeans, Koliimarama
Conference, &c. Mr. C. O. Davis was the first and principal editor, then
Mr. D. Burn ; Mr. Walter BuUer also edited for some time.

With the January number of 1856 the type presented to the Maoris by
the Emperor of Austria is used. It is easily recognised by its pecuharities,
for instance the horned C's = G. At the demise of the Karere Maori
this type found its way to Tauranga, and appears in the early numbers
of the local paper. The Emperor's gift was intended as a small return
for the attention paid by the natives to the officers of the " Novara "
expedition.

After the 9th number it was suppressed by the Government, but the
resourceful editor collected varied specimens of type, and, -with the aid of a
mangle, published about thirty successive issues of what must ever remain
amongst the curiosities of newspaper literature — coarse paper and printing,
mixed type, and literary style in keeping. The motto was changed to " Tem-
pora mutantur, — Nos non mutamur in illis." The last of these productions
was No. 42, 13th April, 1843. Afterwards, on the 7th November, the paper
reappeared in legitimate form, and continued until the 17th Janiiary, 1846,
being its 159th number. Mr. Falwasser died a few'days later.

suggested ; spirits, tobacco, and cards to have proliibitive duty. Approves
of the Wakefield system, an account of which is extracted from the Colonial
Gazette of the 1st December, 1841.
Mr. Beit was the German Colonisation Company's agent, and in 1843
brought out to Nelson in the " St. Pauli," under arrangement Mith the New

The lamentable deficiency of capital amongst the settlers must have a

chstricts. The whole is interspersed with natural-history notes, and references
to colonisation, missions, land-purchases, &c. Was the first European to
ascend Mount Egmont. He also explored the Chatham Islands in the
" Cuba," of which a full account is in the New Zealand Jouriud for 1841,
pp. 125 and 158. Mr. Beit's proposition to found there a German colony is
in the New Zealand Journal, 1842, p. 37. [Vide Journal of Agriculture,
1845; Edin.)
The 29th chapter treats of the botany of New Zealand — liistorical,
descriptive, and relative. The 2nd vol. is chiefly devoted to a full account
of the natives — race, customs, traditions, tribes, priests, warfare, mission
labour, with a table of lands claimed by the missionaries. A philological
chapter is followed by a good gi-ammar and dictionary, and specimens of the
language. Dr. Gray, of the British Museum, in 120 pages gives account of
the fauna, mth full references to authors.
Dieffenbach was the son of a Lutheran clergyman and cousin of the
celebrated surgeon. Involved in some political movement, he fled to Eng-
land and was there appointed surgeon and naturalist to the New Zealand

Due to embarrassments and impending suspension of the New Zea-

pointed on petition " to inquire into the state of the Colony of New Zealand,

whole, favourably to that body. Its members were fifteen in number, and
Lord Howick was chairman. The chief witnesses were Lieut. McDonnell,
Messrs. Brodie, Earp, F. A. Carrington, J. C. Crawford, C. H. Kettle, Moles-
worth, Capt. Heale, and Lieut. Wood. Information most valuable and

States that he left New Zealand (Welhngton) because he entirely
disapproved of Capt. Grey's policy in dispossessing the Hutt natives of
lands they had cultivated for many years, and in otherwise treating them
with severity. Most of the New Zealand Company's land-purchases are un-
sound and arbitrary, and to this is attributable the native outbreaks. The
Gillespies liave been murdered, and othei- reprisals must follow. Defends
Captain Fitzroy's policy as sound and humane, though so systematically
misrepresented.
JVIr. Hanson was editor of the New Zealand Colonist, 1842-43, and Crown
Sohcitor ; then left for Adelaide, where he became Chief Justice of South

Reference to the | British Empire ; | in Letters between a Statesman and

I London : | John W. Parker, West Strand, i MDCCCXLIX.
8vo. Pp. xxiv, 513. Appendix. Dedicated to John Hutt, Esq., lately
Governor of Western Australia. Dated Reigate, 30th January, 1849.
Under the flevice of imaginary letters between colonist and statesman,
Wakefield fully develops his cherished theories. He describes the rise and
growth of colonisation from 1829. when he and other reformers discussed
it in Rintoul's Spectator. Dr. Hinds' (Bishop of Norwich) " Essay on
Colonisation," which was pubhshed in 1832 as an appendix to Archbishop
Whateley's " Thoughts on Secondary Punishments," is reprinted, as are
also 6th and 7th chapters of Charles Buller's " Responsible Government for
Colonies," 1840 {q.v.). The appendix contains Buller's speech in the House
of Commons (6th April, 1843) on Systematic Colonisation ; also a " Letter
from certain New Zealand Colonists to Mr. Hawes " (Under-Secretary),
dated the 5th October, 1846, criticizing the recent New Zealand Government
Act of Governor Grey, which is a mere substitute for real self-government.
Amidst his numerous valuable contributions, this is Wakefield's chief
work. Ever since its publication controver.sy has never ceased to defend
or to denounce the author's propositions, which it is but fair to say have
never been fairly carried into practice. The most temperate opponent is
Merivale, in his " Lectures on Colonization." To-day the balance of opinion
is again favourable.

ParUament never seriously attends to colonial questions unless for party
purposes. Self-government must be conceded, or else separation. Petitions
are useless ; the colonies must exhibit passive resistance to Downing Street.

8vo. Pp. V, 89. Dated Nayland, 10th September, 1849.
The Government having at length granted the Company power to
deal freely with waste lands, and so to promote colonisation, this scheme
was draAVTi up to give the best effect to the concessions, and full directions
to the surveyors. There were 50,000,000 acres to deal with, and the author
was offered the post of Surveyor- General to the New Zealand Company,
which he declined. The subject is divided into — (1) Mode of sale; (2) of
sm-veying, describing, and mapping ; (3) selection, giving possession, and
completing titles. The first draft proof formed the instructions to Captain
Thomas when sm-veying the Canterbury Block.
Felix (an engineer) was the youngest of the four celebrated Wakefield
brothers, and was one of the earliest Canterbury settlers. Died at Sumner
on the 24th December, 1875, set. 68.

Tills important paper succeeded the Neiv Zealand Journal (q-v.), and con-
tinued publication until 1882. Its sub-title varied more than onoe, and in
Sept(Mnber. 1855, it assumed the additional one of "and Colonial Chronicle"
upon adding to its repertory news from the Cape, North America, and the
West Indies. From 1853 it was issued weekly. It was edited by Ms. G. W.
Earp, for some time a merchant and member of the Legislative Coimcil
of New Zealand. The numbers contain a copious summary of news ex-
tracted from the colonial papers, and, whilst lacking the special character
and literary quality of the Xew Zealand Journal, it discusses all important
colonial questions, and is especially full in commercial matters.

Roy. Svo. Pp. xiv, 432, cxii, 20. The end of the preface, p. xiii, con-
tains some notes on Maori poetry, by the Rev. R. Maunsell.
A labour of inestimable value, extending over many years, whilst it
was still possible to rescue from loss these fading records of the native race.
The chief Te Rangikaheke was a principal contributor to this collection;
his originals, with very much other Maoii mattei-, are in the Grey Library
at Cape Town. The pieces of poetry are o09 in number, and are foUo-ned
by " He korero apiti ana no nga waiata nei " (a narrative joined to these
poems), containing a summary of native cosmogony fi-om the creation onward,
&c. Much of this prose was transferred, vt-ith alterations, to " Nga Maliinga "
(p. 177). No complete translation of the jioems has been made; many of the
words are obsolete, and the allusions forgotten or uncertain. Many, however,
lie translated in manuscript in the Cape Town Library, and the transference
of the whole to New Zealand is a great desideratum. (Vide Rev. H. W.
Wilhams's article in Polynesian Journal, No. 59, September, 1906.)

Schirren's theory is entirely at variance with the conclusions of Hale,
Shortland, Fornander, Percy Smith, and others. He contends that to the
myths of Maui and the Pol5Tiesian cosmogony generally must be relegated
the traditions of Hawaiki and the stories of the migrations therefrom.
Hawaiki has no geographical existence, and merely denotes the lower re-
gions, the realm of departed spirits, from which the race came, and to which
it returns. He further considers that there is no evidence to point out the
original " whence " of the Maori, or to hx any date of departure. Hooh-
stetter discusses tliis matter, and agrees with Schirren {vide his " New
Zealand," p. 202 et seq., and his " Neu-Seeland," p. 54).

It is impossible to administer the Constitution Act with advantage
and justice to the community. The provincial system is most mischievous,
splitting up the country into sections whose interests have little or nothing
in common, and developing a spirit of selfishness and indifference to the re-
quirements of others ; and, further, the provinces come into conflict with the
General Government, producing serious entanglement.

Tends to show, from recently discovered maps and from other sources,
that Australia and New Zealand had been discovered very much earlier than
the usualW assigned dates of the 16th century. Gives large extracts from
the writings of early discoverers, and discusses them. In Vol. xxxviii, p. 149
(1860), of the Society of Antiquaries, " Archseological," Major gives an ac-
count of lus later discovery of a map in the British Museum, which transfers
the honom- of the first authenticated discovery from the Dutch to the Portu-
guese. A copy of the north-west portion of Australia is given. This and a
condensed description are also given in Heyward's " Vacation Tom- to the
Antipodes," 1863 (q.v.). Earlier maps have since been found in the British
Museum, and have been reproduced in part jointly by the Governments of New
South Wales, South Australia, and Victoria. These should be examined.
An important continuation of these researches is to be found in Dr.
Heeres's " Part borne by the Dutch in the Discovery of Australia, 1606-

The author was present at tliis important attempt of the natives to
form a Government amongst themselves, and divides it into its oriein,
objects, professed principles of action, progress, results, and probable
future. He considers that Potatau's sudden death should prompt ener-
getic steps for averting so serious a scheme, which imperils the peace of
both races.
Mr. Buddie was an able Wesleyan missionary ; born in 1812, and died
in 1883.
One of the best accounts of this movement, which should be read in
conjunction with the Kohimarama Conference, is in the Maori Messenger,
June to December, 1860.

The Governor, and not the colonists, is responsible. The latter have
not the control of native affairs, and very many think the war unjust. The
country lost prestige, and hope lies in removing native control from the
Governor and liis Commissioners, and placing it in the hands of the colonists,
whom the natives better trust.

The Polynesians came from the eastern archipelagoes of Asia, settled
at Samoa and Tonga and other groups of islands, some of which were
occupied by a dark or nogritic race, with whom they intermixed. This
occurred first about the Christian era, and afterwards at later periods. The
Maoris are a blend of Sandwich-Islanders with the darker Melanesian race.
These views are also developed by the author in the Revue des Deux

Vol. iii has additional title, " Comparative Vocabulary | of the | Poly-
nesian and Indo-European Languages, with a Preface by Professor W. D.
Alexander, of Punahou College, Honolulu." Issued in the English and
Foreign Philosophical Library series.
A laborious work, of great research, to prove that the Polynesian race
is intimately connected with the foremost races of antiquity — the Aryan
and Cushite ; that it occupied the Asiatic Archipelago long before the
Malay family, and that it peopled the Pacific by travelling eastward by
Sumatra and Java. The volumes abound in legends, chants, manners and
customs, and genealogies collected from many islands through a period
of years. The 3rd vol. is devoted to a comparative vocabulary, which seeks
to connect the Polynesian dialects with the Aryan family of languages, an
attempt which a writer in the Saturday Review of the 9th January, 1886,
severely characterizes as a substitution of etymological for modern scientific
philological method. Pp. 157-200, Vol. ii, gives the Hawaiian native ac-
counts of Capt. Cook's visit and death.

Land must be nationalised, and yearly valued, two-thii-ds of the un-

This forms the May number of the Bulletin de la Societe de Geographie,
published in Paris by Ch. Delagrave, 15 Rue Soufflot. It reports the seance
held by this distinguished society in honour and commemoration of Captain
Cook's centenary, and forms a most valuable contribution to the knowledge
of his life and labours. Eloquent addresses were delivered relating to Cook,
Dalrymple, and Hawkesworth, and they review the rapidly increasing know-
ledge of Oceania. An extensive collection of articles which had belonged
to Cook or was in some way connected with his discoveries was exhibited,
and a full cartography and bibliography issued, which it is important to
consult.
1. Address of Vice- Admiral Baron de la Ro:iciere-le Noury, president
of the society. 2. Cook, by William Hiiber. 3. Cook and Dalrymple, by
Dr. E. T. Hamy. 4. Recent Oceania, by C. de Varigny. 5. Address by

exhibition organized by the society. (The exhibition, which contained
355 exhibits, remained open for eight days, and was visited by many thousand
visi!o;s.) 6. Cartography and bibliography, by James Jackson, archivist
of the society. This contained 10 items, including numerous maps, charts,
and atlases, and a list of nearly 450 works relating to Cook — often remotely.
They contain many verbal and literal errors, and are not always otherwise
correct ; a careful revision, with additions, would amply repay the labour.

A work of enormous labour. From a vocabulary of 1,000 Maori words,

The Polynesians are not of Asiatic origin, nor closceiided from the Malays,
nor emigrants from America. They are the " spontaneous iiroduct " of one
island, called Hawaiki, whicli is the Middle Island of New Zealand. Thence
they spread, at an uncertain date, over the Pacific, and to Africa, America,
and Asia. The Maoris are therefore tlie ancestors of the Polynesians, and
Maori is the mother-tongue of all the Polynesian dialects.
