The Olive: Its Culture and Products in the South of France and Italy
AU$400.00 Read MoreAdd to cartWilliam R. Boothby
Adelaide: W. C. Cox, Government Printer, 1878.Boothby, as Sheriff of South Australia, “After his tour of European prisons in 1876-77, he effected other reforms, among them the introduction of olive-growing in prisons for the sale of oil.” (ADB). “The extensive cultivation of the olive in South Australia has been frequently urged. The similarity of the soil and climate between this Province and Southern Europe is remarked by every traveller who has visited both places. .. It will be known that I have given a large amount of attention to the subject of olive culture; and, as Sheriff of the Colony, and with a view to provide means of useful employment to the short-sentenced prisoners, it has been my duty to superintend the olive plantations which have been formed near the Adelaide Gaol. This being the case, it was a matter of much gratification to me, when, availing myself of a holiday, in the years 1876 and 1877, to visit the olive countries of Europe, and make myself acquainted with the processes of olive cultivation and manufacture of oil.” FERGUSON F7285. Provenance: Ex-Royal Geographical Society of Australia, stamps; Bookplate of Charles Richmond John Glover, Mayor of Adelaide; Bookseller’s label of Gaston Renard.
