Description

The Journal of Henry Sewell 1853-7, Volume I February 1853 - May 1854 Edited by W. David McIntyre. This first volume of Henry Sewell's Journal, 1853-7. Henry Sewell briefly became the first Premier of New Zealand under responsible government in 1856. His extensive 'secret' Journal has long awaited publication. Though originally written as an open circular letter for friends and relatives in England, he willed that its contents should be kept dark until after his death. The manuscript was held in the safe keeping of successive bishops of Christchurch and it was not until the 1920s that it was passed on to the library of the University of Canterbury.' The dust jacket has light general wear and the book remains in a tight and bright condition.
