Representative Opinions Upon New Zealand.

"The industrial conditions of New Zealand, its climate its institutions, and its laws render it the Colony of all others best suited to the British Race."—The Earl of Onslow, late Governor of New Zealand.

"New Zealand is so like England it is astonishing to me more of our people do not go there. It is a charming country, the climate is good and the scenery most beautiful.'—The Right Hon. Henry Matthews, Q.C., M.P., late Home Secretary.

The natural beauty of the country is undeniable. The climate is something like that of England with all the bad parts left out. In the visits which I have paid to ten or eleven English Colonies, I have found none more suited to Englishmen than Taranaki (New Zealand), for reasons of health, comfort and happiness."—Sir Charles Dilke, M.P., late Under Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Author of" Greater Britain."

"New Zealand has a fine climate, a fertile soil, and a naturally progressive population. "—Sir Dillon Bell, K.C.M.G., C.B, late Speaker of House of Representation of New Zealand.

"The climate of New Zealand is one of the best and healthiest in the world. For variety, picturesquenss, and wild grandeur, the scenery is unrivalled in the Southern Hemisphere."—J. Hislop, LL.D., Chambers' Encyclopadia.

"On the whole, the New Zealand climate is admirably suited to Europeans.....There are countless running streams of the purest water throughout the Colony. The scenery in Milford Sound is sublime."—Eneyclopadia Brittanica.
