was killed and eaten by the natives at the Bay of Islands. 
Neither of the expeditions added anything of importance to 
Cook’s observations or to the knowledge ot the country. 
Through Cook’s glorious discoveries the attention ot Bui ope 
was drawn in a very marked manner to New Zealand. 
Whalers visited its harbours, and occasional adventurers 
began to settle; but the early period of the European coloni¬ 
zation was attended only with crime and disgrace. A new and 
better era began with the year 1814, when Samuel Marsden 
founded the first Christian mission ; from that time the 
intercourse between the Europeans and Aboriginals w as 
better regulated. An attempt at colonization was made in 
the year 1825, but it was not until 1840 that New Zealand 
became an English Colony. 
Since the time of Cook, in the year 1769, and still more, 
since that of Marsden, in 1814, down to the Admiralty surveys 
in 1848, the literature bearing upon New Zealand is comprised 
in a great number of very valuable publications, official reports, 
works of travels, books, pamphlets of various kinds, charts and 
maps. Thompson # counts not less than two hundred and forty- 
five. Amongst the maps of the period are Cook’s surveys, the 
detail charts of separate bays and harbours, by English and 
French naval officers—reckoning from North to South : Port
