About

A collection of the surviving journals and letters of Rev. John Butler, one of the earliest missionaries in New Zealand.

Offering a first hand record of life in the Bay of Islands in the 1810s–1820s. Butler’s writing captures daily mission work, relationships with Maori communities, and the practical and spiritual challenges of early contact.

The volume provides rare detail on early settlement conditions, cultural encounters, and the tensions within the Church Missionary Society itself. It stands as an important primary source for understanding New Zealand’s earliest missionary era and the complexities of cross cultural engagement at the very beginning of organised European presence.

Includes monochrome plates and illustrations, portrait on title page.
