About This Book
"The colonist ([is] Wakefield himself) ... dictated to A. Allom in 100 days ... when plans for the Canterbury settlement were gathering momentum ... today it is chiefly of interest as much for the autobiographical passages as for the oft-repeated theoretical concepts. Includes in appendix Charles Buller's April 1843 speech in the House of Commons on systemic colonisation and a letter to Sir Benjamin Hawes, Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies, by four leading colonists protesting at Grey's interpretation of the New Zealand Government Act of 1846"--Bagnall.
