    Illustrations and a Map . —The artist and the traveller now so generally go hand in hand , if they are not actually united in the same person

    that a travel book without its share of illustra- , tions would be but a half-told tale , and the combined effort of pen and pencil is almost essential

    if a book is to attain any high degree of popularity . In the travel books which issue from the house of Messrs . Sampson Low & Co . the plates as a rule

    claim almost as much attention as the letterpress , and in this volume , for example , we have quite a portrait gallery of New Zealand chiefs , many

    sketches of the country and of its picturesque scenery , some effective representations of the volcanoes , and a well-executed map . The

    letterpress is conveDiently arranged under four heads : first we have a description of the leading physical features of the King Gauntry—a part of the

    Noith Island of New Zealand ; next , an account of the author ' s visit to the Maori King , including notes on — th — e frontier of the King Country ; thirdly

    an exhaustive - report of the £ Lake ^ y Country ^ w , its ^ , sce and nery lastl , trad y , a ition record s , and of the the habits author of ' s the exploration people ;
