author
A rare historical prospectus rather than a personal work, this publication outlines the aims and structure of a proposed land venture linking Scotland and New Zealand. Little reliable evidence points to an individual author, so it is best understood as a company-issued document.

by Scots New Zealand Land Company, Patrick Matthew
This title appears to be a corporate or promotional publication connected with the Scots New Zealand Land Company, not a work by a clearly documented individual author. The available records found during this search point to the company name itself, including a Wikidata entry for the entity and digitized copies of the prospectus.
Because I could not confirm a specific person responsible for writing it, I have not invented a biographical sketch. For an audiobook or library listing, the safest approach is to treat the company as the issuing body and present the work as a historical business document tied to Scottish settlement and land development interests in New Zealand.
No verified portrait of an individual author could be confirmed from the sources located, so no profile image is included.
