Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Journal of the Royal Colonial Institute, Vol. 36: Part VII; June, 1905
The population of New Zealand is a progressive one, holding, as a rule, large and liberal Views as to the province of government, and, as among ourselves, political questions are' keenly discussed. In giving some account of seven eventful years spent in New Zealand (1897 to it may be well, at the outset, to remind you that in a self-governing British Colony the representative of the Sovereign has no politics, and the prudence which is essential during his term of office may not be absolutely cast aside when his official duties terminate. NO one who is in touch with the administrative or legislative action of a Colony can refrain from sympathetic interest in the measures adopted or proposed for the well-being of the community; but beyond the expression of such interest it is not my intention to pass.
For the sake of clearness, my remarks deal separately, as far as possible, with the European population, the Maoris, and, the recently annexed outlying islands and their inhabitants.
