Thoughts on New Zealand’s Social History: Victorian Heritage

Abstract

This article has been adapted from the last of a series of talks broadcast under the general title of ‘Victorian Heritage’ by the New Zealand Broadcasting Service last year. The talk was designed to summarise the series, but to save space, and not form any lack of feeling of obligation to the other speakers, allusions to them by name, and to the points they made, have been deleted. We are indebted to the N.Z.B.S. for permission to revise and reproduce the script. —Editor.
