LEVIN, NATHANIEL WILLIAM (1819-1903) was born in London, and brought up to business life there. He came to New Zealand in 1841, and carried on business for some years. In 1852 (with C. J. Pharazyn) he established the firm of Levin and Co. The partnership was dissolved in 1869, when Levin retired and the firm was re-established by W. H. Levin and Walter Johnston (q.v.). Levin was on the roll of burgesses in 1843, and a lieutenant in the militia in 1845. In 1869 he was called to the Legislative Council, but he retired in 1871 on leaving the Colony to live in England. There he died on 30 Apr 1903. His widow (Jassy) died on 29 Aug 1904. (See GEORGE BEETHAM)
