Owens shows a man who, while ever the missionary, encouraged Maori in the Wanganui area when they set up their own magistrates, and when they traded, grew crops or built flour mills - a man who, throughout his career, maintained his interests in ethnography, botany, zoology and geology, and was an indefatigable writer of books and articles on scientific subjects.
