'The first edition of the complete New Testament in Maori, translated mainly by William Williams. Printing of the edition of 5,000 copies was completed on 30 December 1837, and the first copies were issued after binding in January 1838. Signed press proofs are at WTU. Over the next two years 2,500 copies were sent to Sydney in lots of 500 for binding, and 1,000 copies in sheets were supplied to the Wesleyans. The remaining copies were gradually bound at Paihia under Colenso's supervision. Williams notes that the BFBS provided the paper and a grant of ú250.'--BiM 45
