Hochstetter, meanwhile, already had plans to publish his own book, and this was realised
in April 1863 when Neu-Seeland was published by Cotta in Stuttgart. 35 Much like Scherzer’s
narrative, the account of Hochstetter’s travels in New Zealand appeared in popular form, and was
“at once most favourably received in Europe, and recognised as a standard work”. 36 Hochstetter
received positive views, and had his name frequently mentioned in various articles dealing with
New Zealand and the Maori, especially those published in a Cotta periodical, in which his views
on the New Zealand Wars and his critical approach to the Government handling of Maori were
seen as particularly unbiased. 37 This was followed in 1864 by Geologie von Neu-Seeland, 38 the
first part of the geological section of the twenty-one Novara volumes which were not completed
until 1876. As was always his intention, he later compiled an English edition of Neu-Seeland,
which was translated by Edward Sauter and appeared in 1867 39 after much toil on both sides of
the globe and constant revising in order to keep it as up-to-date as possible at the point of
