Samuel Marsden, of Paramatta, Senior Chaplain of New South Wales; and of His Early Connexion with the Missions to New Zealand and Tahiti" offers an insightful glimpse into the life of a key missionary figure. Rev. Samuel Marsden's unwavering commitment to his faith and the promotion of education and Christianity in remote regions is vividly documented.
