To the People of New Zealand, the most

ERRATA.

[Page 87], line 27, read “manor,” not “manner.” [Page 150], line 18, “£168,849,381,” not “£120,981,599.”—Later Year Book. An experienced and painstaking friend has called my attention to several typographical errors, and a few immaterial ones in grammar. These faults I deeply regret, but considering my own imperfections, I am glad they are so few and so immaterial.

“Teach me to feel another’s woe,
To hide the fault I see.
That mercy I to others show,
That mercy show to me.”


A NOTE.

Many regard the usual “preface” to a book as of questionable value, but custom may justify the continuance of its use.
