Prepared for the New Zealand Electronic Text Collection
All unambiguous end-of-line hyphens have been removed, and the trailing part of a word has been joined to the preceding line. Every effort has been made to preserve the Māori macron using unicode.
Some keywords in the header are a local Electronic Text Collection scheme to aid in establishing analytical groupings.
There is some variation in the spelling of geographic locations and proper names in the text. From the Foreword: 'A troublesome problem in historical work is the matter of variant spellings for proper and place names. Dr. Buck's death occurred before he was able to take up this problem, and in meeting it, Mrs. Christian has chosen a middle path. She modernized and simplified most of the names, but there seemed to be good reason for retaining the original spellings of others, particularly the Polynesian place names as given by their discoverers'.
