Book Description
Excerpt from Sir George Grey: Governor, High Commissioner, and Premier; An Historical Biography It was once suggested to Sir George Grey that he should write his autobiography. "Pah!" he exclaimed, with a gesture of disgust at the thought of recalling many a passage in his past life that he would gladly shroud behind a veil of oblivion. None the less, the idea struck root in his mind, and, when his public career in New Zealand seemed to be brought to a close by his retirement from the Legislature, it germinated. He was too indolent to write about himself, but he was at all times eager to have things written about him. Who more worthy to write a biography of him that should be virtually an autobiography than the friend who had championed his cause in the press? When Sir William Fox, who had opposed Grey during a long public life, on the platform and at the Colonial Office, in the Legislature and in the press, perverted (as Grey deemed) the story of Grey's life, it was Mr. Rees whom Grey employed to state what he considered the true version of the facts. When, again, a military officer derided Grey's claim to have diverted to India the troops sent to China at the time of the Indian mutiny, it was the same valorous defender, who, at Grey's instance, vindicated the pretension of the old High Commissioner. Mr. Rees's relations with Sir George Grey in his later years were of the most intimate character. No one was more conversant with his affairs. No one better knew his mind on all subjects of a public nature. No one had rendered him so many services. Residing now in the same city with the old Governor, Mr. Rees enjoyed unequalled opportunities of hearing the whole story of his career, at least as it appeared to Grey. Through many a Sunday afternoon Grey used the privilege of old age and talked over the narrative of his life, as he had done to dozens of others. Written by one of the ablest men in New Zealand, Mr. Rees's biography could not be otherwise than commendable.
