  Transactions and proceedings of the New Zealand Institute. Volumes I-XVI.
  Wellington : [The New Zealand Institute], 1869-1884. 8vo. Illustrations. Half leather/purple cloth boards. Some wear, soiling and foxing. Label of Robert Wilkin, Junr, on front pastedowns. A run from 1868 to 1883. Mostly edited by James Hector Contributors include James Hector, J C Crawford, W T L Travers, William Skey, F W Hutton, T Kirk, T S Tancred, J H Pope, A Hamilton, Walter L Buller and William Colenso. The New Zealand Institute was established in 1867 to coordinate and assist the activities of a number of regional research societies including the Auckland Institute, the Wellington Philosophical Society and the Otago Institute. These societies often did not have the means to publish the papers that were presented to them or maintain a written record of their activities. The New Zealand Institute was set up to remedy this through the publication of a single volume of transactions and proceedings on their behalf. A most handsome set of this important publication, another must-have for the Colensophile. G to G+.
