Acknowledgements
There are a number of special debts of gratitude incurred in the preparation of this thesis that I would like to acknowledge. Library and archival staff throughout the country were helpful. Allan Knight went out of his way to assist me and Len Rushbrook was kind enough to grant me time to talk with him. Howard Knight gave me an enlightening and encouraging interview. I was saddened to hear of his death. He seemed a good man.
At Massey many have been go<?d to me. Special thanks must go to John Stenhouse who read much of my work, as did David Thomson, whose comments were always incisive. Once again I acknowledge my great appreciation for my Supervisor, Peter Lineham, who always does more than anyone has the right to expect.
Finally, to Hugh O'Connell for typing the bulk of the text and for the use of word processor and home, and to Ernst, thankyou. Although I have received much help in this thesis any faults are mine alone.
