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 1 begins with Grey's upbringing and early years, and
describes his first voyage to Western Australia, his first
government of New Zealand and his time as governor of Cape Colony.
In addition to recounting the incidents, adventures and
achievements of Grey's life, Rees also conveys Grey's personal
principles and aspirations, giving the reader an insight into the
character of this colonial governor and servant of the empire.
