B., etc) (1864 3vols), which uses the familiar image of the New Zealander to frame two visions of London's future: in the first, horseless carriages and flying vehicles manifest the commercial and Technological glories of Empire to come; in the second, the New Zealander is given a sight of 1964 rather on the lines of Gustave Doré's famous etching of 1872.
