  Nicholas, John Liddiard - Narrative of a voyage to New Zealand, performed in the years 1814 and 1815
  In company with the Rev Samuel Marsden, principal chaplain of New South Wales. In two volumes. 1st ed. London : Printed for James Black and Son, 1817. 8vo. Volume I: xx, 431p. Frontispiece, folding plate, folding map. Volume II: xii, 397p. Frontispiece, map, plate, directions to the binder, errata. 4268. Rebound. Half leather/marbled boards. Top edge gilt. Mild wear to bindings. Foxing to contents. Nicholas, a New South Wales settler of two years standing, accompanied Marsden on his historic mission to the Bay of Islands. Nicholas's description, of the crowded days, the meetings with the leading chiefs, the short journeys, with his full impressions of Maori culture are of the greatest value. His narrative, told in standard 18th century prose, is a useful parallel to the more volatile but succinct and direct record kept by Marsden. A handsome set. Bindings G+. Contents G to G+. [2].
