TitleIllustrated London News 1856 vol.29 page 202DescriptionThe article describes the New Plymouth Province in mid‑19th‑century New Zealand, noting its small Māori population, high levels of literacy, and the influence of missionary work. It highlights how recent inter‑tribal conflict has disrupted progress but poses little danger to European settlers if they remain neutral. The piece also outlines the town’s layout, its mixed Māori and settler community, and reports a renewed outbreak of fighting at Waitara, where casualties on both sides have raised fears of further escalation. Includes illustration. Year1856Volume29Page Number202FormatNewspaper article
