    Description

    Colour Plates, Decorative Binding, Illustrated

    This work comprises a recollection of the surveys undertaken, their discoveries and importance, as well as historical detail regarding the province of Taranaki.

    The Taranaki Province was a New Zealand province until the abolition of a provincial government in 1876. It covered two million acres, making it the smallest province as well as the least populated.

    Written by Edward Stanley Brookes (1840-1904), an important surveyor for New Zealand as a settlement. 

    From the Mechanics Institution Reference Library, Nottingham.

    Illustrated with six sketches in colour, as well as a number of maps and diagrams.
