Sobre este artículo
New Castle, Delaware: Oak Knoll Press. Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket. (2006). First Edition. Hardcover. 1584561963 . Price sticker on rear panel of dust-jacket. Dust-jacket protected in archival mylar cover.; 351, [1 (blank)] pages. Burgundy cloth boards with gilt lettering on spine. Illustrated. Page dimensions: 233 x 152mm. "Sir George Grey, governor of New Zealand, South Australia and the Cape Colony, was an outstanding British colonial statesmen in the nineteenth century. [. . .] Less well known of Grey is that he was an obsessive collector of rare books and artefacts, which he selflessly bequeathed to the people he governed, establishing 'Grey Collections' in Cape Town and Auckland. This study, written by a former librarian of the Auckland collection, reveals the genius and magnanimity of an increasingly controversial figure, demonstrating the complex humanity underlying his apparent remoteness." - from dust-jacket blurb. .
