Softcover. Zustand: Fine. No Dust Jacket. First Edition. 272 pages. Page dimensions: 249 x 159mm. Illustrations in colour and black and white. New Zealand history, 19th century. "Almost every New Zealander has at least one - and often several - forebears who sailed from Britain in the nineteenth century to take part in the pioneering process, which built the country that we know today. From a variety of sources, including the diaries of passengers on a number of emigrant ships - mostly sailing vessels but also a few steamships - the author has told the story largely in the words of the participants themselves, thus giving a unique insight into what life was like during the long voyage (up to five months) down the Atlantic, around the Cape of Good Hope and through the storms of the southern ocean to New Zealand. The reasons for emigrating, the tearful farewells, the onslaught of seasickness, quarrels, epidemics, storms, fires, shipwrecks, shipboard activities, the fun of 'crossing the Line' into the southern hemisphere, and finally the excitement of viewing for the first time the land that they had gone through so much discomfort to reach - all are told in a highly readable, if not entertaining, way that exposes the reality of life on an emigrant ship in the days of sail." - from blurb on rear cover.…

"The British Empire, the largest and most benign in history, had colonies on every continent and in every ocean. It was the greatest force in creating the modern world and has given the world its first international language since the days of Rome. It gave birth to the modern nations of the United States and Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and created the two greatest free ports in Asia: Singapore and Hong Kong. During its four hundred years of existence the Empire brought order and relief to many unenlightened societies by ridding them of superstition, tribal warfare, cannibalism, female infanticide, headhunting, human sacrifice, pirary, personal insecurity and, in India, suttee and thuggee. Its greatest achievement was its abolition of the slave trade and of slavery within its territories from 1807 onwards. Britain led the world in this crusade - something that no other nation had the power or the will to do - thus redeeming the earlier mistake of being involved in the Atlantic slave trade. In telling this fascinating story the author covers 101 colonies by looking at their condition before the British arrived, how they fared under British rule, and how they have conducted themselves since acquiring their independence. The book gives the modern reader an insight into what the Empire was really like for those who lived in it, fought in its wars and travelled around it in their various capacities." - from blurb on rear cover.…
