Opals And Agates Or Scenes Under The Southern Cross And The Magelhans: Being Memoirs Of Fifty Years Of Australia And Polynesia (1892)

Opals and Agates is a memoir written by Nehemiah Bartley that chronicles his experiences living in Australia and Polynesia for fifty years. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on life in Australia and the second part on Polynesia. Bartley discusses the natural beauty of these regions, including the Southern Cross and the Magelhans, and describes the opals and agates that can be found there. He also delves into the cultures and customs of the people he encounters, as well as the political and social issues of the time. This book provides a unique perspective on life in the late 19th century in Australia and Polynesia and is a valuable historical document.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
