    Description

    Early Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce

    The very scarce second edition of this work, very scarce in all editions.

    Author William Brown examines New Zealand's early colonial period. He discusses the Maori people, the economic potential of the colony, and the impact of European settlement.

    He discusses trade opportunities, British governance, and the conflicts arising from land acquisition and misunderstandings with the Maori, whom he expresses some admiration for.

    Rebacked, with original back strip laid down, retaining the original endpapers.

    With eight pages of advertisements to the rear.

    Handwritten library number to verso of title page.

    Brown also discusses New Zealand's struggle to attract emigrants, despite seeming to have many advantages.

    Condition

    Rebacked, in the publisher's original cloth binding, with back strip laid down. Retaining the original endpapers. Back strip age toned. Internally, firmly bound. Handwritten library number to verso of title page. Pages lightly age toned, with the odd spot to page perimeters.

    Very Good
