Synopsis:
The people of New Zealand have literally demanded this book. Every major speech by Lord Cobham during his term as Governor-General has been followed by the most urgent pleas that his addresses should be made permanently available in book form.
His Excellency finally consented to the preparation of the present volume. Lord Cobham's contributions from the public platform have been so many, so varied and so widely applauded that it has been impossible in a single book to accommodate the full range of his speeches. But the selection here offered and grouped under broad subject headings represents an impressive cross-section.
The published speeches, grave and gay, read as superbly as they sounded on delivery. Each one carries a lasting message for the people of New Zealand. As a collection, they provide a record of five years of vice-regal office which
will be treasured in memory.
The Bookworms Mission:
We strive to reduce unnecessary landfill by taking used books, second-hand books, paperback books, hardback books, pre-loved books, great reads and recycled books and then redistributing them throughout New Zealand, Australia and the rest of the world. Readers can connect online with book titles, helping them find new homes, and support reusing and re-loving books that are affordable. At Bookworms you’ll find cheap books, hidden gems and even some lost treasures. We have a passion for sustainability, being eco-friendly, eco-conscious and we aim to incorporate that into all that we do.
