PREFACE
IT was my happy privilege, on leaving College, to minister for some twelve years to a New Zealand congregation. In moving about that spacious Dominion I had ample opportunities of observing the supreme veneration in which the people of those romantic islands have enshrined the illustrious memory of Bishop Selwyn. From the North Cape to the Bluff there are thousands whose tongues become instantly garrulous in grateful reminiscence at the mere mention of his name. His vigorous hand is on the country still. His episcopate was indisputably the most wholesome of all those formative influences which gave tone to the infant nation in those critical days when the foundations of its character were being laid. In view of this impressive experience, it has been a very pleasant and congenial undertaking to pen some words that may help to perpetuate and extend the knowledge of his heroic record. The generation that can catch his spirit will precipitate the conquest of the ages.
I hasten to acknowledge my obligations to “The Life and Episcopate of G. A. Selwyn, D.D.,” by the Rev. Prebendary H. W. Tucker, M. A. ; to “The Life of Bishop Selwyn,” by the Rev. Canon G. H. Curteis, M.A. ; to “The History of the Melanesian Mission” by Mrs. E. S. Armstrong ; as well as to the Hon. W. Pember Reeves, Dr. T. M. Hocken, F.L.S., and Captain F. W. Hutton, F.R.S., for their numerous contributions to the literature of early New Zealand. I have also been assisted by the files in the Weekly Graphic (N.Z.), and, generally, by the excellent press of the Dominion.

Hello I am interested in purchasing this book from you. Is it possible.
I am a pastor in Canberra Australia.
Thanks Ben, I have decided to sell all the Boreham Books in one lot. I have 47 which run from (1903) “The Whispers of God” to “The Last Milestone” (1961). This list does not include the three before 1903, and the one I had missing is “The Man who saved Gandhi” (1948) but I am replacing that with the upgraded version “Lover of Life”. Most are First Editions or First Published. Overall the books are in good condition although a few would be graded “fair”. I am currently getting them ready for sale, probably on E-bay but if a good offer comes in that would be more straightforward.
I also have some duplicates which I will sell individually which are:
The Other Side of the Hill Boreham F.W. 1917
The Temple of Topaz (2) Boreham F.W. 1928
The Drums of Dawn ( 2) Boreham F.W. 1933
I Forgot to Say Boreham F.W. 1939
My Pilgrimage: An Autobiography Boreham F.W. 1940
A Bunch of Everlastings Boreham F.W. 1920
