[_ ' BRAD SHAW'S G UID E TO K.8.W...Z8 ALAND. ■ The extension of railway communication, the con sequent exceedingly rapid increase in the passenger traffic throughout the colony of New Zealar.3, and the paucity of information—of a reliable, character—now obtainable of the arrivals and departures of the va rious trains, coaches, mail and other steamers, and all methods et travel, render |the publication of some I trustworthy and authentic record of reference an absolute necessity. " : ■- : ; .^ •■: \ The subscribers propose to. issue to, the public ;a monthly "Guide/ similar—as far as circumstances will permit—to the well-known "Bradhaw" of the mother country, containing Time-table* compied with every possible regard to accaracy,,and from in formation obtained from authentic sources only of all Railways, Coaches, Steamers, &c , &c. -The projected publication will also contain full information regard ing Postal and Telegraphic arrangements, General, Provincial, and Municipal Governments ; Public Institutions, Banks, Insurance Companies, complete Descriptive Itinerary, aud, in short, 'will be made 4s replete with general and useful information as possible. The want of a medium of Advertising for the whole Colony has long been felt by all commercial classes. The publication now projected will, it is. confidently anticipated, fully fill that want, as it will be the first aim of the subscribers to produce the work at a price which must ensure its bring accessible to the whole community.. It is calculated th(it an issue of some thousands per month may be'relied upon, which will be distributed throughout the entire Colony The advantages thus offered to arlveitiaers must therefore be: at once apparent. In submitting this nrospectusto the public of New Zealand, the subscribers beg to give the assurance that every effott will be made: to carry it out in'its integrity, and render in proportionately as recognised an institution in New Zealand, as "Bradshaw|s Guide" is in England.
