ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This thesis could hardly have been written with- out the assistance of those various people who provided time and support, good judgment, helpful suggestions,
encourage~ent, personal kindness, and not least, of course, the necessary source material.
Accordingly, it is a pleasure to acknowledge the staff members of the following institutions: the Feilding Public Library, Foxton Borough Council Office, General Assembly Library, Wellington, H. B. Williams Memorial Library, Gisborne, Massey University Library, Palmerston North, and the Palmerston North Public Library.
Special thanks must go to those individuals in the different departments at the university who helped with professional advice and suggestions.
I am indebted to .Mrs. Delia Taylor for typing the final draft.
I want to express particular gratitude to my
supervisor, Professor W. H. Oliver of Massey University.
His initial suggestion of the topic introduced me to a very interesting field of research; and his attention given to draft versions and general interest displayed in the work have proved invaluable.
