Excerpt: ... use, too, of the leaves of the cabbage-tree (what Lady Barker calls the ti-tree palm); the fibre is very strong and clean, but short; and requires boiling to get rid of the green outer coating. What puzzles one most in our amateur road-making, is the way in which the face of the country alters in the wet season; where we walked dry-shod the other day,_we find next week either a treacherous bog, or else it is chest deep in water; and I have had one short acquaintance with a summer " fresh," that is vividly impressed on my memory still. There had been three months of consecutive sunshine, and we had stacked our timber for the mill, close to where it was landed, in apparent safety. The rain came at last without any previous warning; and for three days we had an unceasing down-pour. The first night made me take to the " store," for I had the weather-side of the tent, and after a vain attempt to sleep in my mackintosh, I found the insidious drip and patter from the roof was sure to creep in at some weak or exposed corner, and give one a cold shiver as it trickled down the body. During the next two days the river kept rising rapidly, for the dry ground was unable to drink in the rain fast enough owing to the previous drought, which had caked it so hard; and all the surface drainage ran ofl at once as from a duck's back.

Excerpt from Wonderland of the Antipodes: And Other Sketches of Travel in the North Island of New ZealandNearly all the recent writers on New Zealand, such as Lady Barker, Sir C. Dilke, and others, have confined themselves to the South or Middle island, where the people, climate, and imported trees remind one so strongly of England, that it is hard to imagine yourself away from home. But though the glaciers and lake scenery of the Southern Alps are in their way almost unrivalled, I think that for variety, beauty. And interest, the natural pheno mena of the North island are pre-eminently wonderful; Whilst the semi-tropical look of the vegetation, the influ ence, manners and customs of the Maori population, and the eternal spring weather, lend a powerful charm of novelty to visitors in these parts.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
