Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Size 10 x 7 inches. In black cloth covers with gilt to spine, Illustrated dust wrapper In very good condition with very good dustwrapper. (d/w. slight shelfwear to the edges, Not price clipped) Slight dust marks to the fore edge. A clean and tight copy. 584pp. A Sort of Conscience is a remarkably engaging study of the Wakefield family and the early settlement of British colonial societies. It draws on a rich store of sources to paint a portrait of a complex family whose influence crossed the globe. At once notorious and visionary, Edward Gibbon Wakefield and his brothers played a key but controversial role in the early British settlement of New Zealand, Australia and Canada. Once famed as New Zealand's 'Founding Fathers', they have since become the arch-villains of all post-colonial scenarios of the past. Deciding that neither myth made good historical sense, Philip Temple decided to produce a biography. Seller Inventory # 98021

Soft Covers. Condition: VG+. No Jacket. Portraits (illustrator). 2nd. The Wakefield family, through the New Zealand Company, was instrumental in developing settlements at Wellington, Nelson and Canterbury, and also arranged immigration to a number of other British colonies. Following some dubious land dealing in NZ, as well as notoriety surrounding the amorous actions of one of the Wakefield brothers, the family attracted some controversy and antagonism. In view of this, it is somewhat surprising that Philip Temple's "A Sort of Conscience" is the first definitive biography of a family so important to NZs development. This is an impressive and comprehensive account, which includes revision of some of the earlier opinions and assessments of the Wakefields. First published in 2002 with this second edition in 2003, 584 pages including extended notes, acknowledgements, bibliography, notes and index, 35 b/w portraits (photos/art). family tree at front. Color art card covers are VG+ with circular sticker for New Zealand Book Award Biography Winner 2003 on front, internally excellent, no inscriptions. Heavy book at 1.3kgs unpacked; would require additional postage for international delivery. Seller Inventory # 004456
