In October 1854 the Taranaki Herald reported the return to New
Zealand of Charles Hursthouse, who 'for years past has been in
England the untiring advocate of New Zealand emigration, and by his
writings and lectures has materially contributed to the
colonization of the settlement'. In this updated 1861 version of
his 1857 book, Hursthouse promises 'a fair and honest picture of
New Zealand as she is today' and expresses his belief that
thousands of struggling British people from all walks of life would
be 'saved' by emigrating. He describes New Zealand's history,
climate, natural history, population, government, exports and
markets, agricultural pursuits and trades, and includes a revealing
chapter on war and 'native policy'. Hursthouse explains his own
reasons for emigrating, and provides practical advice on official
regulations, travel insurance, choice of ship, the best times to
sail and how to keep occupied during the voyage.
