A RIDE THROUGH THE 



DISTURBED DISTRICTS OF NEW ZEALAND 



AT THE TIME OF THE REBELLION;

FROM THE JOURNALS OF THE LATE 



HON. HERBERT MEADE, Lt. R.N. 



EDITED BY HIS BROTHER. 



With Maps and Illustrations. Medium 8vo. 14s. 



" The modest title chosen by the editor scarcely describes the work. Lieut. Meade was 

 riding through one of the loveliest countries of the earth, one scarcely known to white men ; 

 he was beholdiug such strange and incredible developments and outburstings of volcanic action 

 as are nowhere else to be beheld ; he was living with a brave, honest race of savages, intelli- 

 gent and clever beyond all others ; and what he saw and heard he tells in simple, hearty 

 fashion. Tlie most striking part of his book treats of the great ffcj/sers, or boiling fountains, 

 which abound in the lake district of the southern island. Never were such lovely scenes 

 imagined by fairy-tale teller as he saw. Fountains of boiling water, blue, and emerald-green, 

 and scarlet, and brightest yellow, throwing up their volume of spray a hundred feet into the 

 air, and poui-ing their surplus waters over giant terraces regularly posed one above another, as 

 if in scorn of man's feebler work." — Observer.

" Notwithstanding the difficulty of reconciling brevity with the copiousness of illustration, 

 I have endeavoured to abridge the work, so as to place it within the i-each of many to whom it 

 was before inaccessible." — Autlior's Preface.

By henry hart MILMAN, D.D., 



Late Dean of St. Paul's.

 Doan Milman and exhibit the brilliancy and power which characterize his style, but also on 

 account of the nature of the subjects of which they treat." — Atheiiccum.
