(See Williams).The mission at Paihia (Bay of Islands) was established in 1826, which soon became very active. The printing press arrived at Paihia in December 1834 together with William Colenso, missionary and botanist who operated the successful press for many years. William Gilbert Puckey (1805-78) arrived in New Zealand with his parents at the age of fourteen, learned the Maġri language and became an useful translator. Puckey made this translation in 1836 and Colenso made the final changes in 1840. Williams, Bibliography of printed Maġri, 44.
