To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That this re- bellion might be put down utterly and for ever in a few weeks if the colony chose to do so, we are con- fident. That 200, 000 Europeans could overwhelm and destroy the elements of savage life which exist — and, alas, are rapidly spreading — amongst a people numbering about 30, 000, of whom many are not in arms against us, and many are on our side, is absolutely certain. But with every day's delay the danger increases. It is confidently asserted that Titokowaru had but 40 followers... when he began the war, now he has 800. The Chatham Island fugitives numbered about 180 when they landed, now they are 800, of which it is said more than 100 are cavalry. There are now as many or more Maories AN IMPORTANT DECISION 147 in the field than there were at any time opposed to General Cameron. Every success brings fresh allies and the ranks of the enemy swell daily. It is a dreadful calamity to have to fight ; still more so to fight in a civil war ; worst of all when the war has been brought about by our own faults and follies.
