"In the early life of Bishop Hadfield in New Zealand, when it is fully written, we shall have a history of the troubled times that accompanied European settlement in the Wellington district. Through that history will stalk the historic figures of Colonel Wakefield and other officers of the New Zealand Company, the great missionary Bishop Selwyn, as well as Rauparaha and Rangihaeata and their savage and warlike followers."
