OF B w ' .."—-— —oo • ByVWV L. and LILY^REES, ", ':: SOLDIER, EXPLORER, GOVERNOR, STATESMAN, AND AUTHOR, Sir George Grey occupies a unique position among the remarkable men who have arisen during the nineteenth century, now drawing towards its close. By such men the foundations of the British Empire have been laid, and the prestige of the AngloSaxon race sustained in all parts of the earth. The story of his life reads like a romance rather than a biography. Commencing his public career as an explorer in Western Australia, he subsequently administered the affairs of South Australia, New Zealand, and Cape Colony at the most "critical periods ih the history of those colonies. There were then neither cables nor steam mail services to keep the Governor in touch with the Imperial authorities, and he had to rely entirely upon his own judgment and resources. It was under these circumstances that Sir George Grey had successively to cope with financial disaster in South Australia, native insurrection in New Zealand, and Kafir disturbances at Cape Colony. The authors have had exceptional opportunities for gathering the facts of Sir George Grey's career. Intimate personal commu-j nication with the ex-Governor and statesman has enabled them to set out his remarkable figure in bold relief, and they have been able by direct reference to ascertain the inner history of many events of great historical importance, and to coliect a large fund of interesting personal reminiscences. The book has been written in popular style, and should' command a very large sale. : ...;•. / .1 COITTEUTS. BOOK THE FIRST. BOOK THE FIFTH. BIRTH AND EARLY YEARS, 1812—1840.
