Thomas Lindsay Buick {{post-nominals|country=NZL|CMG}} (13 May 1866 – 22 February 1938) was a Liberal Member of Parliament for Wairau, New Zealand, a journalist and a historian. He published under the name T. Lindsay Buick.

Early life

Buick was born in Oamaru in 1865 [1] or 1866.{{sfn|Wilson|1985|p=186}} His parents emigrated from England to Port Chalmers in 1860. Lindsay Buick received his education at schools in Oamaru and moved to Blenheim in 1884 to work as a carpenter. Although he had no relation to Ireland or Catholicism, he joined the Irish National League "purely as a lover of liberty and justice", and in 1889 he embarked on a speaker tour. He was also active in the temperance movement.[2]

Buick married Mary Fitzgerald on 8 January 1891 at Blenheim; they were to have no children.[2]

Buick represented the Wairau electorate in the New Zealand House of Representatives from 1890 to 1896, when he was defeated.{{sfn|Wilson|1985|p=186}}{{sfn|Hamer|1988|p=361}} The 1896 general election was contested by Buick and Charles H. Mills, who received 2014 and 2072 votes, respectively. Mills thus succeeded Buick.[3] He was a temperance advocate and supporter of Irish Home Rule.[4]

Years later, in July 1904 he unsuccessfully contested Pahiatua by-election as the official Liberal candidate.[2]

Historical work

Buick wrote numerous works on the pre-European and early contact history New Zealand, and two books on music. His The Treaty of Waitangi: or, How New Zealand became a British Colony (1916) remained the only substantial work on the Treaty until the late 1980s.

Later, he was owner/publisher of the Dannevirke Advocate.[5]

Buick was appointed Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George (CMG) in the 1933 Birthday Honours.[6] In 1935, he was awarded the King George V Silver Jubilee Medal.[7]
