GIVING the Names, Addresses, and Occupations of Owners of Land within the Colony, together with the Area and Value in Counties, and the Value in Boroughs and Town Districts, compiled from the Assessment Rolls of the Property-Tax Department as at the 1st October, 1882.

The names of Freeholders are printed in alphabetical order; and all land owned by them, in whatever part of the colony, appears opposite their respective names, thus enabling the total capital value of each person's freehold property to be seen at a glance.

The book also contains a Return of the Lands held by Banks, Insurance Companies, and Companies registered as Corporations with Limited Liability.

As a Directory the book will be found of great value, as it contains the most complete and reliable information, and includes the names of over 71,000 colonists.
