Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Past and Present of New Zealand: With Its Prospects for the Future
IN presenting this Work to the Public, a few words may be required by way of Preface.
The brief account given of the Church Mission in New Zealand is only to be viewed as a sketch, and that of necessity a partial one, being chie?y confined to the Writer's own observation. Fully to do justice to this subject would extend it far beyond the limits of the present work, Many accounts of the New Zealand War, which has been raging for the last twelve years, having already appeared from those taking opposite views, have of necessity so widely differed, that the Writer being personally acquainted with most of the leading characters, as well as with their points of difference, has ventured to add another, with the desire of reconciling as far as possible the discrepancies of both, and present a simple and unbiassed account, which will be found strictly consonant with truth.
