'ASHBURTON, NEW ZEALAND'
A CENTENNIAL PUBLICATION Published as a centennial memorial for the Ashburton County and Borough Councils, * Ashburton, New Zealand: Its Pioneers and Its History, 1853-1939,’ by John Brown, of Lowchffe, presents to the reader a tremendous mass of information dealing with the districts which it covers. The publishers are Messrs A. H. and A. W. Reed, Dunedin and Wellington. The bulk :of the book of over 700 pages appeared originally as separate articles in the ‘ Ashburton Guardian.’ The author has gone through a tremendous amount of research to collect all the data the book contains. Not only does it accurately portray the historical foundation and growth of the county from its inception right down to the present day, but it is also something of a record of the lives of the early pioneers associated with that section or Canterbury. Obviously the compilation has been a labour of love to the author, who has journeyed extensively over every part of the country of which he writes. The book forms a very valuable contribution towards the historical records of this Dominion, and it is one which will be eagerly sought after by genuine collectors of works of this nature. .
