Excerpt from Annals of the Diocese of New Zealand, 1856 This work was undertaken at the request of the Secretary of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, and is intended to form one of the series of "Annals of the Colonial Church." It has been the aim of the editors to present, in a short but comprehensive form, a connected account of the progress of Christianity in New Zealand, from its first introduction in 1814 to the date of the latest intelligence from the colony. The first part of the work is principally compiled from the letters of the Missionaries, which have been published at different times since the establishment of the Mission. The letters of the Bishop of New Zealand to the Society, and to his family in England, which have already been published, and constitute numbers 4, 7, 8, and 12 of "Church in the Colonies," have been abridged, and form a considerable portion of the present work.
