Lot Description:Coleman, John Noble - A memoir of the Rev Richard Davis : for thirty-nine years a missionary in New Zealand.
1st ed. London : James Nisbet and Co, 1865. 8vo. xii, 457, 16p. Publishers' catalogue. 1559. Decorated maroon cloth. Mild wear, soiling and foxing. Except for brief introductory comment and the final pages Coleman, life-long friend and correspondent of Davis, has let him speak through his own letters. Despite Coleman's retention of overmuch soul-searching and his confessed alteration of the text of the original letters, the selection retains sufficient of the original reporting to give a clear impression of the difficulties and hazards of mission life at this turbulent period. A handsome copy of this scarce work. G to G+. -
