Samuel Marsden : altar ego

Wellington : Dunmore Pub., 2008. Octavo, illustrated wrappers, pp. 219, a fine copy.

‘An in-depth examination of first missionary Samuel Marsden’s New Zealand endeavours. The author researched Marsden’s life and activities in New South Wales and in New Zealand and found a challenging dichotomy between his behaviour and reputation in Australia, where he is loathed, and in New Zealand where he has been little researched, but where he holds ‘saint-like’ status.’ – the publisher
