Introduction.

cluding verses portraying the life of the rabbiting camp and the freezing works, or exemplifying directly the results of Universal Franchise and Industrial Arbitration, had such been forthcoming. Unfortunately, Pegasus is a shy beast, and runneth apparently whithersoever he listeth. With what material was to hand, they have made the best showing they were able to make. If the work should help in any way the progress of New Zealand literature, the pleasurable toil of compilation will have had sufficient reward.

Christchurch, N. Z.,
November 1906.
