" It was said of Bishop COLENSO that he "undertook to convert a Zulu Kaffir, but the Z. K. converted him.

When we see, by the way, within a period of five years and at such remote points upon the earth's surface, such erudite and ponderous works in the English language issuing from the press as those of Professor Hearn of Melbourne, of Bishop Colenso of Natal, and of Mr. Hubert Bancroft of San Francisco,even such a little commonplace fact as this is fraught with wonderful significance when we think of all that it implies.

In this and in the previous year (1865) the free-thinking investigations of Colenso, the Bishop of Natal, had attracted much notice, and had procured him the virulent hostility of a numerous section.

MY DEAR SIR, The MS. concerning Colenso duly arrived.

I note your remarks on the merits of Colenso.

So let it be with Colenso.

They terminate with a brief review of Colenso's great work.

From the references already given in previous years to his Papers and correspondence on the geography of Exodus, his correspondence with Colenso, &c. &c., it will be seen that he took a great interest in the early history of the Israelites.

An important, though undesigned, contribution was made to this exposure by an Englishman, Colenso, Bishop of Natal.

In 1862 Colenso published the first part of his Pentateuch and the Book of Joshua Critically Examined.

Colenso’s book raised a storm of indignation in England—he was known as “the wicked bishop”; but on the Continent its reception was very different.

Known from his Oxford days as Soapy Sam, he was involved through no fault of his own, in some of the odium attached to the "Essays and Reviews" and "Colenso" cases: his private life was embittered by the secession to Rome of his two brothers, his brother-in-law, his only daughter, and his son-in-law.

The problem of parapet mending has been reduced to arithmetical form à la Colenso, as follows: "If two inches of rain per diem brings down one quarter of a company's parapet, and one company, working about twenty-six hours per diem, can revet one-eighth of a company's parapet, how long will your trenches lastgiven the additional premisses that no revetments to speak of are to be had, and that two inches of rain is only a minimum ration?"

If you have a bias in that direction, he has or has heard some thoughts on Bishop Colenso and the Tractarians.

It was the date when Essays and Reviews was still thought a terrible explosive; when Bishop Colenso's arithmetical tests as to the flocks and herds of the children of Israel were believed to be sapping not only the inspiration of the Pentateuch but the foundations of the Faith and the Church; and when Darwin's scientific speculations were shaking the civilised world.

Though so undoubted an authority as Mr. William Colenso sums up the old-time Maori as a secularist, it is not easy entirely to agree with him.

Mr. Colenso himself dwells upon the Maori faith in dreams, omens, and charms, and on the universal dread felt for kehuas or ghosts, and atuas or demon spirits.

In 1834 a printing press was set up by the Church Mission Society at the Bay of Islands, in charge of Mr. William Colenso.

But on unpacking his equipment Colenso found he had not been supplied with an inking-table, composing-sticks, leads, galleys, cases, imposing-stone, or printing-paper.

With such assistants Colenso, working on, had by New Year's Day, 1838, completed the New Testament and was distributing bound copies to the eager Maoris, who sent messengers for them from far and near.

Neither Hadfield, Maunsell, nor the printer Colenso were amongst the land-buyers, and the same honourable self-denial was shown by all the Catholic missionaries, and by all the Wesleyans but two.

On the Maoris, their myths, legends, origin, manners, and customs, William Colenso is admittedly the chief living authority.
