Book Description
Description: The letters are predominantly sent or received by William H. Wakefield, Principal Agent of the New Zealand Company in 1846 and relate to the legal and financial affairs of the New Zealand Company, referring to land transfers, grants and orders. There is a manuscript table showing the statement of notices of transfers received by Wakefield from August 1839 to 16 December 1845. The Company's claim to lands in Port Nicholson is commonly referred to throughout, with many noting reports and surveys of land made to ascertain proportions that may be granted as compensation to the local Maori. There is mention of hostilities amongst the British settlers and the Maori, and the Wairau Massacre in particular is noted within these letters.

Book Description
Description: Letters refer to colonist contact and land disputes with Maori peoples, and to the floundering financial and banking affairs of the Company with third parties such as the Union Bank of Australia. Statements of land surveyed, land transfer orders and land exchanges are also commonly referred to throughout the correspondence. Letters relating to land sales made by the Maori often list items traded for purchase and give detailed accounts of purchase agreements. Some letters refer more closely to conditions of settlement, enclosing population and agricultural returns for areas such as Wellington. There is also a printed copy of 'The Church Almanac', given to Colonel Wakefield by the Bishop of New Zealand, recording the church accounts for Wellington, Whanganui and New Plymouth from 1845.

Book Description
Description: Letters refer principally to surveying trips for selecting the site of the second colony of the New Zealand Company. Other letters refer to trips made by Governor George Grey to southern settlements to discuss with William Fox, and others, the recently passed act to make provision for the government of New Zealand, and to resume suspended proceedings in the settlement of the Company's titles to land. There are several letters and papers recording statements and notices of land transfers, orders and exchanges in Wellington, with later letters referring to draft grants sent to the New Zealand Company for the Port Nicholson district. Many letters are sent between Governor Grey and Francis Dillon Bell, and refer directly to the Company's attempts to acquire Wairarapa, and the obstacles posed by the Maori. Military detachments raised against Maori forces and hostilities are also referred to.

Book Description
This book provides a new approach to the historical treatment of indigenous peoples' sovereignty and property rights in Australia and New Zealand. By shifting attention from the original European claims of possession to a comparison of the ways in which British players treated these matters later, Bain Attwood not only reveals some startling similarities between the Australian and New Zealand cases but revises the long-held explanations of the differences. He argues that the treatment of the sovereignty and property rights of First Nations was seldom determined by the workings of moral principle, legal doctrine, political thought or government policy. Instead, it was the highly particular historical circumstances in which the first encounters between natives and Europeans occurred and colonisation began that largely dictated whether treaties of cession were negotiated, just as a bitter political struggle determined the significance of the Treaty of Waitangi and ensured that native title was made in New Zealand.
