Typo: A Monthly Newspaper and Literary Review, Volume 6

[Birds Of America]

A copy of Audubon's Birds of America was recently sold in London for £345. The work rarely comes into the market, and is steadily rising in value. The last copy sold brought £300.

Mr R. Studholme ( « a trustee for a minor owner in the reserves » ) sends us a copy of a short pamphlet entitled « The West Coast Settlements Act, 1892. » Mr Studholme severely criticises the Act, and certainly, as regards some of its provisions, not without good grounds. He says it should be called « A Bill for the Nationalization of Land granted by the Crown to Natives. » Mr Studholme is pretty plain-spoken, as, for example: « Clause 31 gives the 14-year-old owners power to give discharge for money or appoint another native to do so. Disgust will not allow me to say any more on this point. » The pamphlet is printed at the office of the Hawera Star.
