Such is a brief summary of the principal events which have 
occurred in New Zealand since our acquaintance with it; up 
to January 1855. The colony was then rapidly progressing; 
with -every prospect of continuing to do so. There have been 
three grand epochs in the history of New Zealand : — First; 
Its colonization by the black race ; Secondly; by the Maori ; 
and lastly; by the Anglo-Saxon. The steps of the last have 
been followed by the introduction of the Christian faith; with 
the arts of civilized life ; and the final result will be, the 
giving rise to an energetic and determined race; destined; at 
no distant period; to play a conspicuous part in the future 
history of the World.
