Rock Phosphates and Other Mineral Fertilisers. Their Origin, Value, and Sources of Supply

Adelaide, Government Printer, 1903.

Octavo, 48 pages plus a large folding chromolithographic map (447 x 593 mm) of 'the Clinton Deposit' tipped in on the last page (the rear wrapper).

Title-wrappers; front cover lightly marked and discoloured, with minimal loss to the corner tips; an excellent copy.

Phosphate ore in South Australia was discovered at Clinton on Yorke Peninsula in 1899; the map is dated 22 February 1902. This copy is signed in pencil on the contents page 'Robt Sticht, Adelaide SA, 15VII09' (Robert Carl Sticht, 1856-1922, metallurgist and mining engineer, a dominant figure in Tasmanian industry and a book collector of note); his bookplate is tipped in on the verso of the front cover. The date '16VII09' pencilled at the rear suggests he read the pamphlet overnight.
