In these years the main function of the Native Department was to purchase Maori lan...d, with the focus in many cases on aquiring Maori land in the interests of closer settlement.

Studying Crown Maori land policy and practice in the period 1869-1929, from the establishment of the Native Land Court power until the cessation of large-scale Crown purchasing by Gordon Coates, this investigation chronicles the bleak and grim tidal wave of Crown purchasing that ...dominated the Maori people under very difficult circumstances. While recognizing that the government purchasing of Maori land was in its own way driven by genuine, if blinkered, idealism, this work's deep research on land purchasing policy gives renewed insight on the significant politicians of the era, such as Sir Donald McLean, John Balance, and John McKenzie who were strong advocates of expanded and state-controlled land purchasing.

The award winning Volume One of this series, published in 2013, contained a selection of full decisions of the Court from 1862-1887. This volume takes the story of the Native Land Court forward to 1909 and the great consolidating Native Land Act of that year. The period from 1888...-1909 was a very important, and somewhat neglected, one in the history of the Native Land Court and its allied institutions.
This book is not merely a compilation but a definitive study of the Native Land Court in its political and legal context.
