Frederick Wollaston Hutton (1836-1905) was a geologist and a
supporter of Darwinian theory. He emigrated to New Zealand in 1866,
became Professor of Biology at Canterbury College, and won awards
both in Britain and Australasia for his work on the natural history
of New Zealand. He published scientific papers on biology and
zoology as well as geology and, with James Drummond, wrote two
popular works, Nature in New Zealand (1902) and The Animals of New
Zealand (1904). The latter was extremely successful. It was revised
and expanded the following year, and this fourth edition was
published in 1923. The book focuses on native vertebrates, so the
bulk of the content relates to birds, of which Hutton had published
a catalogue in 1871. It also describes marine mammals, reptiles,
and bats, and gives brief coverage to introduced species. There are
154 illustrations, and indexes of Maori, English and scientific
names.
A successful journalist, naturalist and author, James Drummond
(1869-1940) began his biography of Richard John Seddon (1845-1906),
New Zealand's prime minister, while his subject was still alive and
in office. Originally intended as a collaborative effort, the work
had to be completed without further assistance following Seddon's
sudden death on a voyage from Australia to Auckland in June 1906.
It was published in 1907, along lines 'that Mr Seddon approved of',
and with an introduction by the prime minister at the time, Sir
Joseph Ward. A popular figure, Seddon led his party to victory at
five successive general elections. The book traces his life from
his English childhood, through his emigration and entry into
politics, to his last days, charting the achievements, personality
and beliefs of New Zealand's longest-serving prime minister to
date, and shedding light on the history of the Liberal Party.
