    I tera kaumatua i tera kuia, no ona haerenga, e maha ki nga pito katoa o Aotea-roa. Poems in Maori, with footnotes in English. "The beginning of a volume by Grey containing 48 Maori songs. He contemplated including the translation of most of the songs. A pencil note by Grey in the copy in the Grey Collection, Auckland states "This is the only copy of these poems." P.

    57 is only a proof inserted since the compilation of the catalogue by Bleek, and apparently the whole volume is a collection of the final proofs as far as the work had progressed."--"Williams, 283. "In 1949 sufficient printed sections were located in the tower of the Auckland Public Library to enable about 150 copies, with a special printing of p. 57 from the proof copy, to be bound and sold by the Polynesian Society. The work, therefore, although printed in 1857 was not published until 1950."--Cf. Bagnall, G860.
