Early New Zealand printing in the Maori language

[Paiha (New Zealand), Mission Press], 1842. 8vo. Never sewn, stitched or bound. 7, [1] pp.
€ 850
First edition, printed in New Zealand in the Maori language, of the anti-Catholic missionary William Colenso's account of the order of service followed by the Anglican Bishop of London for the reception of three Roman Catholic priests. Although the pamphlet was printed by the press that the author established, he had largely turned it over to others in 1840. When the press printed his own works, however, it is possible that he once again played a larger role.
With a small hole repaired, slightly tattered at the edges and minor foxing and stains, but still in good condition. Hocken, p. 518; Williams 84.
