October 03, 2006: "Sir George Grey, Colonial Bookman and Collector"
"Sir George Grey, governor of New Zealand, South Australia and the Cape Colony, was an outstanding British colonial statesman in the nineteenth century."
"In his private life, he was also a passionate collector of rare books and artefacts. In Amassing Treasures for all Times: Sir George Grey, Colonial Bookman and Collector, author Donald Jackson Kerr reveals the genius and magnanimity of an increasingly controversial figure. This first study on Grey as collector will be released 25 October."
