Lucas and Son. "It is a clear sign of progress in a Colony when year after year its Almanacs and Handbooks increase in size, and seem to brim over with useful matter. Very full information is given in the Nelson Year Book concerning the Customs tariff and regulations, population, mail routes, Government officials, law news, farming operations, local signals, and sailing directions, &c. The book doubtless is well appreciated in that part of New Zealand, where it is intended more especially to circulate, and is also likely to prove of service to merchants and others in the old country taking an interest in the Colony."
