The book ""Correspondence Between The Wesleyan Missionary Committee And Earl Grey On The Apprehended Infringement Of The Treaty Of Waitangi (1848)"" is a collection of letters exchanged between the Wesleyan Missionary Committee and Earl Grey regarding concerns over the potential violation of the Treaty of Waitangi. The Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840 between the British Crown and Maori chiefs, and it established British sovereignty over New Zealand while also guaranteeing Maori rights and protection of their land and resources. However, there were fears that the treaty was not being upheld, particularly in regards to land acquisition by British settlers. The Wesleyan Missionary Committee, which had a significant presence in New Zealand and had been advocating for Maori rights, wrote to Earl Grey, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, expressing their concerns and urging the British government to take action to ensure the treaty was respected. The letters in this book provide insight into the tensions and debates surrounding the Treaty of Waitangi and its implementation in the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
