Excerpt from Kaipara or Experiences of a Settler in North New Zealand
Before commencing the undertaking, I had been at considerable pains to satisfy myself of the truth of this fact, and naturally so, for it is the life-buoy I cling to as I take this, my first dip, in the sea of literature it is my one excuse for troubling the public, and in it consists my hope that they will consent to be troubled.
I do not pretend to literary talent, and my highest ambition is to lay the true narrative of my experiences in New Zealand before the public in a readable form. If successful in doing this, I shall be content, and trust that my readers will be also.

Excerpt from Kaipara or Experiences of a Settler in North New Zealand
The fact that nothing has hitherto been published concerning life in this part of New Zealand from the pen of a bona-fide settler has induced me to write the following pages.
