REVIEW.
Travels in New Zealand, by Alexander Majoribanks, of Majoribanks. London : published by Smith, Elder, & Co., 1844. This little work, written by one of the earliest adventurers to this colony, at a distance from those sources of excitement which have since annoyed the settlers, calls attention to the different evils under which the colony had been suffering under up to the period he writes, in terms which will, without disguising those grievances, permit of its being read with attention by those who may have conceived a prejudice against the colony itself. As a means, among others, of calling public attention in England to the comparatively unprotected state of the colony, we think it may prove useful, though we differ from some of the views adopted by the writer.
