I The extension of Railway communication, I the consequent exceedingly rapid increase in the passenger traffic throughout the colony of New Zealand, and the paucity of information —of a reliable character—now obtainable of the arrivals and- departures of the various trains, coaches, mail and other steamers, and all methods of travel, render the publication of some trustworthy and authentic record of reference an absolute necessity. The subscribers propose to issue to the public a monthly GUIDE, similar—as far as circumstances will permit—to the well-known “ Bradshaw ” of the mother country, containing Time Tables, compiled with every possible regard to accuracy, and from information obtained from authentic sources only, of all Railways, Coaches, Steamers, &c,, &o. The proj acted publication will also contain full information regarding Postal and Telegraphic arrangements, General, 'Provincial, and Municipal Governments ; Public Institutions, Banks, Insurance Companies, complete Descriptive Itinerary, and, in short, will be made as replete with general and useful information as possible. The want of a medium of ADVERTISING FOR THE WHOLE COLONY has long been felt by all commercial classes. The publication now projected will, it is confidently anticipated, fully fill that want, as it will be the first aim of the subscriber to produce the work at a price which must ensur e its being accessible to the whole community. It is calculated that an issue of some thu;sauds per month may be relied upon, which will be distributed throughout tho entire colony. The advantages thus offered to advertisers must therefore he at once apparent. In submitting this Prospectus to the Public of New Zealand, the subscribers beg to give the assurance that every effort will be made to carry it out in its integrity, and render it proportionately as recognised an Institution in Now Zealand as “Bradshaw’s Guide” is in England.
