Excerpt from John Rutherford, the White Chief: A Story of Adventure in New Zealand

He was a versatile, talented, and ambitious man; but all his ambitions ran in the direction of the public good. From the time of his early manhood, he wished to become a public instructor. At first he tried to achieve his end by means of journalism, which he entered in 1812, by reporting Parliamentary debates for The Globe and The British Press, two London journals. Later on he started a pub lishing business in London. Dealing only with instructive subjects, he established Knight's Quarterly Magazine, and other periodicals, to which he was one of the prominent contributors.
