Añadir al carrito8vo. pp. x, [1 leaf], 409, [1]blank, [2]ads. with half-title. mezzotint frontis. & folding coloured map. original cloth (front hinge cracked, cloth stained & worn, former owner's name excised from half-title). First Edition. "Gorst, a Cambridge graduate of independent means, spent three years in New Zealand before returning to E…ngland and a career in politics. Interesting himself in the Maori, he was in due time appointed Magistrate and Commissioner for the upper Waikato until mounting difficulties made his residence at Te Awamutu impossible in mid 1863. In The Maori King Gorst, in succinct but vivid prose, calls on his strong Maori sympathies, clear judgment and quickly acquired but deep understanding of the Maori point of view to present an indictment of New Zealand native policy. Clear pictures of the events leading to the Waikato War, the attitudes of the tribes, Wiremu Tamihana, Rewi and others, from the founding of the King Movement, past Fenton's well-intentioned but frustrated failure, to Grey's inadequate policies four years later. An outstanding, dispassionate, classic record of Maori and Pakeha before the campaigns of 1863-4." (Bagnall) Bagnall 2184.Hocken p. 229.
