About This Book

The biography recounts the life and labors of George Augustus Selwyn, focusing on his missionary leadership in New Zealand and later English episcopate. It details his plans to make the colonial church self-supporting through land purchases and a general endowment fund, administrative arrangements such as archdeaconry church funds and stipend scales, and efforts to avoid state control. The narrative follows his travels among mission stations, interactions with indigenous peoples and settlers, founding of the Melanesian mission, involvement in the native wars, and returns to England, concluding with his final years. The book balances organizational description with personal anecdotes and letters to illuminate his character and methods.
