The Ancient History of the Maori, His Mythology and Traditions: Tai-Nui. [Vol. V]

Preface

Preface

At page 13 of the English part of this volume I have quoted from Sir James Hector's account of “The Skids of Tai-nui;” at pages 184, 206, 212, 218, 224, and 231, by permission, I have quoted from the “Story of Te Waharoa,” by Judge J. A. Wilson, of the Native Land Court; at page 210 I have used information given to me by Captain Akers; at page 260 I have quoted from the records of the Native Land Court; and at pages 45 and 49 of the Maori part of this volume I have quoted from the writings of Sir G. Grey, K.C.B. I tender my sincere thanks to these authors for the use I have made of their writings.

The reader will find at the close of this volume the opinions of an English critic on this work.

John White.
