Abstract
THESE two books present a most vivid picture of the progress which has occurred in New Zealand during the last fifty years. The first is essentially personal, the account of strange and curious adventures of individuals; the second is largely impersonal, the account of the development of a system of State Socialism. Both works tell the story of the reaction between outsiders from overseas and the environment which they found awaiting them in these distant islands.
