"He accorded the indigenous populations and their customs a respect they had not enjoyed before in the colonies, and he was the first to record the Maori folklore, anthropology and language. He founded hospitals and schools for all races in New Zealand and South Africa. Often against popular opinion and sometimes at his own expense, he paved the way for the education of all. Abhorrent as he found so much African superstition, the Cattle-Killing delusion especially, he equally loathed the racial attitudes of so many of his fellow British. When he died he was given a state funeral attended by royalty and the elite of the day, and he was buried in St Paul's Cathedral in a place of honour amongst his country's greatest men. Truly a hero to an age." .
