General Editor: DR. JOHN SALMOND Dr Salmond of Victoria University of Wellington edits a series of small biographies of New Zealanders who have contributed politically, artistically, socially, or historically to the growth of their country. These books will be essential as supplemen- tary material for the New Zealand section of the School Certificate History course. While written primarily for second- ary schools, they will be highly authoritative, will incorporate the latest research material and will therefore be useful as quick reference material for University Students. Illustrated throughout, often with previously unpublished photographs. READY EARLY 1968 APPROX. 75c
