Brief Description
A booklet written by William Lyon of Wellington that is a translation of an ancient Chaldee Manuscript.
It was found near the Fish Ponds at Government House, discovered in the early days of Sir George Grey's first administration. A prefixed glossary is attached to the front, supplied by Mr Thomas W Mackenzie, identifying the characters as depicted in the original manuscript.

First published in the Wellington Independent.
