Correspondence Between The Wesleyan Missionary Committee And Earl Grey On The Apprehended Infringeme

The book ""Correspondence Between The Wesleyan Missionary Committee And Earl Grey On The Apprehended Infringement Of The Treaty Of Waitangi (1848)"" is a collection of letters exchanged between the Wesleyan Missionary Committee and Earl Grey regarding the potential violation of the Treaty of Waitangi. The Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840 between the British Crown and the Maori chiefs of New Zealand, and it established the basis for British sovereignty over the country. However, there were concerns that the treaty was not being upheld, particularly with regards to land ownership and rights. The Wesleyan Missionary Committee, which had a significant presence in New Zealand at the time, wrote to Earl Grey, who was the Secretary of State for the Colonies, to express their concerns and seek his intervention. The letters provide an insight into the political and social climate of New Zealand at the time, as well as the attitudes and perspectives of the British authorities towards the treaty and its implications. The book is a valuable resource for historians and scholars interested in the history of New Zealand, the Treaty of Waitangi, and colonialism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
