Though one of the parts of the earth best fitted for man New
Zealand was probably about the last of such lands occupied by the
human race. The first European to find it was a Dutch sea-captain
who was looking for something else and who thought it a part of
South America from which it is sundered by five thousand miles of
ocean.

Henry Demarest Lloyd (1847 1903), writer and social reformer, rose
to prominence as one of America's first muckraker journalists. Born
in New York City, Lloyd started his journalism career at the
Chicago Tribune and went on to expose the abuse of power in
American oil companies. He also pursued a career in politics. In
1899 he travelled to New Zealand and Australia, the 'political
laboratories' of Great Britain, to investigate how they resolved
the conflict between organised capital and organised labour, and
how they promoted social welfare. This book, published in 1900,
praises New Zealand's system of compulsory arbitration and
describes many instances of successful dispute resolution, from
clothing manufacture to newspaper typesetting. The book includes an
introduction by William Pember Reeves (1857 1932), liberal
newspaper editor and writer, who as New Zealand's minister of
labour had brought in the Arbitration Act of 1894 and other
important labour legislation."
William Pember Reeves' scholarly work of 1902 provides a full and
candid account of radical and experimental laws in Australia and
New Zealand. From the Anti-Chinese Acts of 1881 to the adoption of
the women's franchise by the Commonwealth Parliament in Australia
in 1902, the two volumes survey all noteworthy laws and statutes,
addressing colonial questions of the time. Well-known for his
history of New Zealand, The Long White Cloud (1898), the statesman
Reeves (1857 1932) draws attention to admitted defects or failures
in the laws without imposing his personal political views on the
reader. Volume 1 sets out the historical background of Australasia,
and covers such areas as the Progressive Movement, the women's
franchise and issues concerning land laws. Overall, the two volumes
represent an important record of the many reforms and changes
occurring in the political and social systems of the continent at
this time.
