THE MAORI AS HE WAS

By ELSDON BEST

Fifty years of public demand since this book was first published resulted in the need for reprints in 1934 and 1952.

The text has been reproduced unchanged but the originals of some of the figures could not be traced and these have been replaced with similar illustrations.

There have been many advances in our knowledge of Maori life since this book first appeared. The work of numerous ethnologists, and more recently archaeologists, has critically examined many of the earlier concepts, confirming some, disproving others, and altering others to varying degrees. No one has yet produced a synthesis of the results of all this scholarship and there is still nothing as comprehensive as this book of Best's to give a general account of the Maori.

This book was first published when Best was 68 and thus represents the accumulated knowledge of a lifetime. It has now become a classic introduction to Maori life. Its continued availability should help the reader to obtain a basic background to old-time Maori life which can be extended by further reading.

WELL TYPED, MISS JONES!

The intention of this book is to aid and maintain a good standard in the preparation of correspondence, memoranda, and reports. Although this style book was prepared especially for Government departments, it will help people in other organisations to set out correspondence, etc., to a good standard.

Overall this publication covers all aspects of layout, except special typing work such as manuscripts, catalogues and so on, which have not been included because this type of work is too varied. Generally jobs of this kind require close liaison between typist and author.

Written in the office of the State Services Commission, 1974.
