Not many detailed accounts have been written about the foundation
of a colony, and none is more likely to be instructive than that of
the foundation of Canterbury, New Zealand. This settlement is
outstanding in imperial history because it came as the climax of
twenty years of colonial reform, and because the settlers were
carefully selected: it is thus important as the most successful
example of systematic colonisation in English imperial history. The
man who inspired and planned and led and established Canterbury,
New Zealand, was John Robert Godley, a close friend of Gladstone,
who also gave his powerful aid to the scheme. Apart from the
foundation of Canterbury, Godley was an eminent Victorian who
wrestled with the Irish problem and took part in the reform of the
War Office after the Crimean War.
