BOETTGER Otto 1842 1907 Adelaide optician and instrument maker
Two very detailed manuscript ledgers from Boettger's practice as an optician 1886-1894 together with approximately 275 invoices covering importations for his extensive engineering surveying optical and scientific instruments business 1892-1900
The foolscap folio ledgers are uniformly bound in half suede and cloth with the letters A and B respectively on the spines; the covers show signs of wear but the volumes are very sturdy with the contents in excellent condition. The first one contains 21 pages of index and 102 pages of the ledger proper. Each page is designed to record the details of nine patients; the last entry is numbered 916. The data are the name of the patient often the address the date of the consultation the referring doctor the prescription for the lens for each eye and more often than not specific details of the spectacle lenses or frames. Examples of the latter include 'pale blue periscopic lenses / gold frame / twisted curled sides'; 'Gold Pince-nez Canadian'; 'pantoscopic frame'; and 'Extra small Children's frame made to order'. The first entry is dated 20 October 1886. Initially business was not brisk; the fifth entry was not for another eleven weeks on 7 January 1887 when no less an individual than William Austin Horn presented himself. By the time this volume ends on 15 July 1892 a host of still-familiar Adelaide family names had made an appearance: Verco Goyder Hawker Hack Fowler Woods Bagshaw Magarey Jury Mead Rischbeith Morphett . The second volume is more of the same: there are 39 pages of index 298 pages of the ledger proper with each page containing details of seven patients approximately 2086 individual records. This volume commences on 16 July 1892 the day after the first volume ends and the last page is reached on 19 December 1894. The invoices are chronologically arranged in a contemporary quarter cloth and marbled papered boards post-binder; both covers are detached with minor signs of use and age and there are some chipped edges to the contents but overall it is a fascinating collection of unique records documenting a highly specialised profession in colonial Australia. An obituary of Otto Boettger 1842-1907 appeared in 'The Chronicle' Saturday 7 September 1907: 'The death occurred at Cologne recently of Mr. Otto Boettger the well-known Adelaide optician and instrument-maker. The deceased who was 65 years of age was born in Elberfeldt Germany and came out to Australia in 1877. He had previously conducted a large business in St. Petersburg but the venture not proving successful he determined to emigrate to Adelaide. His first engagement was with Mr. Dobbie Alexander Williamson Dobbie 1843-1912 a successful local engineer and inventor cleaning old keys and repairing machinery. Starting in business for himself his great knowledge of surveying and engineering instruments led the Government to place all their work in this department in his hands and the results proved eminently satisfactory. About 10 years ago the business in Flinders-street was transferred to Mr. G.C. Kohler who was an apprentice of Mr. Boettger's at one time and had been with him nearly 30 years. Mr. and Mrs. Boettger then returned to Germany to spend the remainder of their lives in retirement'. Another local newspaper 'The Register' records details of an overseas trip Boettger made in 1894. He left Adelaide for Europe on 11 April 1894 see the report of the Valedictory Dinner on 2 April in the newspaper the following day. His return is reported on 13 December: 'Among the passengers who returned to Adelaide by the German mail steamer "Habsburg" on Wednesday was Herr Otto Boettger the well-known optician and maker of scientific instruments. He went to Europe for the purpose of seeing what is at present being done in the large cities in optical matters and returns in very good health. To a representative of the "Register" who saw Herr Boettger on board the mail steamer he gave a few particulars of his enquiries. "You must know" he began "that until the last few years it was not possible to get made to order astigmatic lenses either here or in any of the other colonies. I am glad to say that the plan I had followed is in all essential points the same as I have seen in the best optical workshops in London Berlin Paris and Birmingham. The difference is merely in the speed because in these large centres there is so much to be done. I was glad to find that in the matter of accuracy of curve and perfection of finish the lenses turned out in Adelaide are not inferior to any I have seen. There has been considerable advance made in the construction of all sorts of scientific instruments and I have been much interested in examining all the latest improvements'. hardcover

Number 32 the first one in Volume 2 is a different format - shorter and wider - and the leading margins are folded back 40 mm. 'The small religious newspaper "Morning" was founded in 1900 by the gifted but unbalanced lawyer Paris Nesbit. The newspaper was initially used largely as a vehicle for his personal views on religion and Adelaide society. Nesbit unashamedly stated that the newspaper was his own voice and would be run "as Christ would if He were subject to the present limitations of my faculties" . Nesbit and his family - in particular his sister Agnes Benham - were interested in the "new thought" movement of the 1890s with its socialism and sexual reform. Early issues of the newspaper contained items commenting on Nesbit's short stint in the Parkside Mental Asylum in 1898 which he felt had been politically motivated by his enemies including the premier Charles Kingston. Kingston as well as other political and church leaders were criticised in early issues of the newspaper as were various Adelaide lawyers. Nesbit felt particularly strongly about religious hypocrisy. Benham contributed book reviews and periodic articles mostly on religious topics during the early life of "Morning". Much attention was given by various contributors many writing under pseudonyms to Benham and Nesbit's views that ideal marriage relationships were based on intellectual and spiritual connection. After just four months Nesbit handed over the editorship of the newspaper to the printer John Newton Wood who steered the newspaper towards an interest in spiritualism and vegetarianism' SA Memory online. The final issue appeared in 1909. Paris Nesbit (to Number 15), then John Newton Wood hardcover

'It is not my intention to be drawn into any newspaper controversy either about what is contained in this book . or about the notes and appendix matter I have added to it. My friend and collaborator John P. Fletcher is at present serving as a conscientious objector under the English Military Service Act a term of two years' imprisonment inflicted upon him by a court-martial. On his release any criticisms of this book will receive from us the attention they deserve.' John Francis Hills 1867-1948 Friend Quaker teacher and anti-conscriptionist: 'in 1912 Hills and a visiting English Friend J.P. Fletcher founded the Australian Freedom League to campaign against compulsory military training. The league quickly extended to other States and at one time claimed 50000 members. Hills spoke often at public meetings and even paraded in a sandwich board at Victoria Park racecourse. The league was disbanded soon after the outbreak of World War I in 1914. Of his many pamphlets the most powerful probably was "Child Conscription: Our Country's Shame" 1912 which not only condemned military training but implicitly war itself. These themes were reiterated in the small book Hills and Fletcher wrote in 1915 "Conscription Under Camouflage" which was not published until 1919' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'.

An early collected reprint of works already scarce at the time; the lithographs and lengthy 34-page introduction by Woods were new to this edition. Taplin's substantial contribution The Narrinyeri 156 pages plus 6 preliminaries is the text of the revised edition of 1878 see his informative preface dated 12 April 1878 at page xliii. The Wyatt contribution was not previously published as such; the text here was 'principally extracted from his official reports' stemming from his relatively short and unhappy time as the third South Australian Protector of the Aborigines from 1837 to 1839 Australian Dictionary of Biography.
