Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Founders of Canterbury, Vol. 1: Being Letters From the Late Edward Gibbon Wakefield to the Late John Robert Godley, and to Other Well-Known Helpers in the Foundation of the Settlement of Canterbury in New Zealand My Father, the late Edward Gibbon Wakefield, was the author of the system of colonization under which public land in the colonies came to be sold, instead of given away, the proceeds being applied to emigration, surveys, roads, churches, and schools, and other necessary adjuncts of sound progress in colonizing. This system was first adopted for the Australian colonies by Lord Howick (now Earl Grey), the then Secretary of State for the Colonies, so far back as 1831. In 1836, South Australia was founded on those principles, Mr. Wakefield taking the chief share of the founders´ work. In 1837, at his instance and by his efforts an Association was formed, having for its object the colonization of New Zealand on those principles. This Association resulted in the creation of the New Zealand Land Company of 1839, which in that and succeeding years, under that name and the succeeding one of the New Zealand Company, founded the settlements of Wellington, Nelson, New Plymouth, and Wanganui.
