Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Remarks Upon the Latest Official Documents Relating to New Zealand (Ordered by the House of Commons to Be Printed, February 7, 1838): In a Letter to a Friend
It would, in relation to the subject on which I intend to enter in this despatch, be an interesting and important question, did there exist means of bringing it to a satisfactory solution, How far this depopulation of the country, which has at least been rapid in proportion to the increase of its intercourse with the whites, was originated by the latter, and may justly be chargeable to them. My own opinion is, that all the apparent causes which are in opera tion are quite inadequate to account for the rapid disappearance of the people.
