Tthe Association for Founding the Settlement of Canterbury in New Zealand
Published in 1850, this collection of papers and documents is a record of the Association's work in organising, planning, designing and instigating the founding of Canterbury on the South Island of New Zealand. Among the reasons given for selecting New Zealand as a good place to colonize are the temperate climate, the insular geography and the suitability of the land for European-style farms and gardens.
