John Liddiard Nicholas (1784-1868), a London iron-founder, arrived
in New South Wales in 1813 but rather than develop his business, he
accompanied Samuel Marsden on a journey to New Zealand from
November 1814 to March 1815 that established the first Christian
mission to the Maoris. This two-volume book, first published in
1817 after Nicholas had returned to England, was widely successful,
and was translated into Dutch and German in 1819. Based on
Nicholas' journal, kept throughout his voyage, it tells the story
of the missionaries' efforts but focuses particularly on Nicholas'
observations of the Maoris and reflects his desire to share
knowledge of a 'people so little known to Europeans, and at the
same time so ... interesting'. Nicholas pays careful attention to
the customs, personalities, and relationships unique to different
communities, and in Volume 1 outlines and highlights the
relationships he himself developed with the Maoris.
