Published in 1892, this two-volume biography chronicles the
remarkable life and career of Sir George Grey (1812-98), the 11th
premier of New Zealand. William Lee Rees (1836-1912), lawyer,
politician and well-known supporter of Grey, co-wrote this work
with his daughter Lily, and the books outline how Grey became
arguably the most influential figure during the European settlement
of New Zealand in the nineteenth century. The volumes proceed
chronologically and are organised by the main events in Grey's
life. Volume 2 covers Grey's second governorships of Cape Colony
and New Zealand, his engagement in English politics and his return
to New Zealand in 1870. It concludes with an assessment of Grey's
personal characteristics, successes and failures. In addition to
recounting the incidents, adventures and achievements of Grey's
life, Rees also conveys Grey's principles and aspirations, giving
the reader an insight into the character of this servant of the
empire.
