What Posterity Has Done For Us
AN experiment with time, which need not be described too closely, recently allowed "The Listener’ to inspect a number of . books that have not yet been written. These books, all belonging to the middle years of the next century, are social histories and reports which give some attention to our present situation in New Zealand. They are, of course, without the intimate knowledge that we ourselves have of our social habits; but it is sometimes salutary to look through the wrong end of the telescope, and we thought it prudent to copy out a few passages before the experiment came to an end. In printing them below, we may be excused for mentioning that the opinions of posterity are not necessarily our own.
