Transcriber's Note:
Discrepancies between the detail of the list of illustrations, and the text accompanying the illustrations themselves, have been retained.
The list also omits the table of Te Rauparaha's wives and children, that has been inserted at the end of the book before the map of his and Te Puoho's raids. It is reproduced in this version.
Apparent typographical errors have been corrected. Inconsistencies in hyphenation have been retained.
