Excerpt from New Zealand
Though one of the parts of the earth best fitted for man, New Zealand was probably about the last of such lands occupied by the human race. The first European to find it was a Dutch sea-captain who was looking for something else, and who thought it a part of South America, from which it is sundered by five thousand miles of ocean. It takes its name from a province of Holland to which it does not bear the remotest likeness, and is usually regarded as the antipodes of England, but is not. It was taken possession of by an English navigator whose action, at first adopted, was afterwards reversed by his country's rulers; and it was only annexed at length by the English Government which did not want it, to keep it from the French who did.
