Life and Times OF ,»r oo - -. .' By^WIiSanbLILY>EEES. QOLDIER, EXPLORER, GOVERNOR, STAfESMANfIife O AUTHOR, Sir George Grey occupies a unique position amonj the remarkable men who have arisen during the nineteenth cenj tury, 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. Gommencing 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 in 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 v/as 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< Capd Colony. < The authors have had exceptional opportunities for gathering the facts of Sir George Grey's career. Intimate personal commui nication with the ex-Governor and statesman has enabled them tel 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 collect a large fund! of interesting personal reminiscences. The book has been written in popular -style* and- shQulcJJ command a very large sale. . * *' CO ITTEITTS. ' ; :\.f 51g •: BOOK THE FIRST. } BOOK THE &£&• 1. BIRTH AND EARLY YEARS, 1812—1840.
