TI! ESTIMONIALS TO << TJRETT'S COLONISTS' r\ UIDE Jdrett's Colonists 1 vjtuide and /cyclopaedia of ttseful VyYCLOPiEDIA OF USEFUL TTNOWLEDGE » IVnowledge, BEING A COMPENDIUM OF INFORMATION BY PRACTICAL COLONISTS UPON FARMING, HORTICULTURE, AND ALL SUBJECTS OF INTEREST TO NEW ZEALAND SETTLERS. Edited by Thomson W. Leys.

The publisher has much pleasure in acknowledging receipt of the following testimonials from well-known agriculturalists and otker practical colonists on the value of the above work :— The following letter is from Mb James Wallace, Hillside, Papatoitoi. As one of the most practical and successful settlers in the Auckland district, his opinion is of great value. "Sir,— l have looked forward with a considerable degree of interest to the publication of Brett's Colonists* Guide, and can now say that it has far exceeded my expectations. Hardly a day passes without my finding something in its pages both interesting and instructive. It is a book that should be in every settler's house in the colony. The portion devoted to farming is full of reliable information, and I have no hesitation in saying that it is the most comprehensive and useful guide for a New Zealand colonist ever published."

From Sir George Grey, K.C.B.— "My dear Sir,— l have kept in constant use for upwards of two months the copy of Brett's Colonists' Guide and Cyclopedia of Useful Knowledge, which you were good enough to send me. I have tested it in many ways upon a great variety of useful subjects, and am satisfied that it is by far the best work of the kind I have ever seen. I feel that its merits and usefulness in relation to all practical subjects, on which a settler's comfort and success depend, render it a necessary appendage to every home in New Zealand. — Faithfully yours, G. Grey. — Kawau, January 7th, 1884."

Mr John Wallace, of Bothwell Park, Waiuku (formerly ot Flat Bush), who is one of our earliest settlers, and has been for many years closely connected with every effort to promote the agricultural interests of the Auckland district, writes as follows :— " Dear Sir,— l have much pleasure in adding my mite in warm commendation of Brett's Colonists' Guide. It is a book that should be, not only in every farmer's library, but should also be on every colonist's book-shelf, no matter in what line of colonial industry he or she may be engaged. There is information for all. In looking back over a perod of 41 years' of hard colonial work how much valuable time and money mighthave been saved if atthe beginning such a fund of information had been available to guide us as is now within the reach of all in the shape of Brett's Guide. Colonists, who desire to be worthy of the name, should not, from its elegant appearance or the quality of the material, make it a drawing - room book, to be looked at and admired as one would a picture or a curio; they should have it on the mantle-shelf, tho sofa, or the corner of the table : in faot, anywhere so that the eye of Father, Mother, Johnny, and Jenny, and even the helps, may have a chance of looking at it during spare minutes in the heat of summer or tine inolemenoy of winter. Mr Brett has shown pluck in bringing out such a book, has been exceedingly fortunate in the selection of his contributors, and I sincerely hope it will prove a finanoial success."

Mr George Holdship, Managing Director of the Auckland Timber Company, and a practical colonist of long experience, writes:— "Shy-I have looked over your Settlers' Guide, and consider it one of the most useful and valuable books for the New Zealand settler ever published. The information is so varied, and the advice so praotioal. A single paragraph will of ten bo found worth more than tho coat of the book.
