This electronic text has been adapted from the versions available on the Project Gutenberg website:  3235 (A First Year in Canterbury Settlement);  3279 (Canterbury Pieces);  3278 (Cambridge Pieces). Extra mark-up has been undertaken to allow a fuller experience of the text.

The edition of the book from which this eText was transcribed contained a number of other, unrelated, pieces. These have been transcribed and are available on Project Gutenberg as separate eTexts. The pieces on Darwin are in the eText “Pieces on Darwin” and the minor pieces written whilst Butler was at Cambridge University, England, are in the eText “Cambridge Pieces”.

Encoding

All unambiguous end-of-line hyphens have been removed and the trailing part of a word has been joined to the preceding line, except in the case of those words that break over a page. 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.
