Edward Gibbon Wakefield (1796 1862) was a controversial colonial
advocate and political theorist, who was the driving force behind
the early colonization of New Zealand and South Australia. Barred
from entering parliament after serving a three-year sentence in
Newgate Prison, Wakefield read widely on contemporary economic and
social questions before forming the New Zealand Association in
1837, with the aim of creating a colony in the country based on his
theories of systemic colonization. This volume, first published in
1839, contains a detailed description of the New Zealand
Association's plans for the formation of a British colony in the
country. Published to attract new members and potential colonists
to the Association, this volume discusses the natural resources of
New Zealand and describes the Association's method of colonisation
together with a proposed system of government, providing a valuable
practical example of Wakefield's influential theories of
colonization.
