Description:Excerpt from The King Country, or Explorations in New Zealand: A Narrative of 600 Miles of Travel Through Maoriland When it is considered that in company only with my interpreter, and with but three horses - ultimately reduced to two - and with what scant provisions we could carry, I accomplished considerably over 600 miles of travel, discovered many new rivers and streams, penetrated almost inaccessible regions of mountainous forest, found extensive areas of open plains suitable for European settlement, traced the sources of three of the principal rivers of the colony, examined the unknown shores of its largest lake, ascended one of the highest mountains of the southern hemisphere, experienced degrees of temperature vary ing from 800 in the shade to 12 below freezing-point, and successfully traversed from South to North, through its entire length, a territory with an area of I0,000 square miles, and which had been from the early history of the colony rigorously closed to Europeans by the hostility of the native tribes, it may be readily seen that the explorations, by their varied nature, disclose many important facts hitherto unknown con cerning a vast and beautiful portion of New Zealand; and while they cannot fail to prove of practical utility to the colony, they will, I venture to think, be a welcome addition to geographical science.
