N 3ES W Z E i L A I B, ITS ADVANTAGES AND PROSPECTS AS A BRITISH COLONY, WITH A FULL ACCOUNT OF THE LAND CLAIMS, SALES OF CROWN LANDS, ABORIGINES, etc. By CHARLES TERRY, Esq. F.R.S., F.S.A. u This work is unquestionably a valuable addition to our stock of information respect- ing New Zealand. It is the work of a percipient witness, and one moreover who possesses qualifications for the task he has undertaken. We earnestly recommend it to our readers, and have no doubt the book will take its place in all New Zealand col- lections.’’—New Zealand Journal. u No person should think of emigrating to that colony for the future until he has carefully perused this intelligent and highly interesting volume.”—XI. S. Gazette. “ We are disposed to regard this as the very best book upon New Zealand that has as yet been published.”—Old Monthly Mag. “ While emigration to New Zealand was all the rage, we looked in vain for such a work ; it is honest and very cleverly written.”—British Queen. “ A sensible, temperate, and carefully written book.”—Examiner. ie This is the most practical work that has yet been published on New Zealand ; it deals largely with facts, and contains an authentic and complete view of the situation of the colony up to the present time. It is only common justice to his talents and integrity to add, that of all writers capable of giving so much information respecting an infant colony, and giving it with so much exactitude and comprehensiveness, Mr. Terry is, beyond all comparison, the most strictly impartial we are acquainted with.” Atlas.

A BRIEF ACCOUNT OF THE DISCOVERY of AMSKIGiL by the limTHMSI, IN THE TENTH CENTURY, WITH Notices of the early Settlements of the Irish in the Western Hemisphere> By NORTH LUDLOW BEAMISH, Fellow of the Royal Society, and Member of the Royal Danish Society of Northern Antiquaries, author of the u History of the German Legion,” &c. u This interesting publication, the fruit of great literary labour, and extensive research, clearly shews that the eastern coast of North America was discovered and colonized by the Northmen more than five hundred years before the reputed discovery of Columbus. These facts rest upon the authority of antient Icelandic MSS. preserved in the Royal and University Library of Copenhagen, and now, for the first time, trans- lated and made public.”—Preface. This publication forms an indispensable introduction to the celebrated work of Dr. Robertson, who appears to have been totally unacquainted with the early discover ries of the Northmen.
