Constitutional History and Law of New Zealand

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This book aims at giving a simple account of the origin and development of the chief institutions of government in New Zealand. If We except a compilation of acts and other instruments, published in 1896 by the Government Printer, under the title of The Constitution and Government of New Zealand, there is no book dealing exclusively with the constitution of the Dominion, and even in the general histories of this country the subjects here presented are treated very briefly indeed. We believe, therefore, that there is room for such a book as this.
