105589Two of the photographs are approximately 100 × 150 mm the other two are approximately 70 × 75 mm. All four have been removed from an old album leaf and remounted on acid-free card; each one has a small number pencilled unobtrusively in the sky in the top right-hand corner. One photograph in each size depicts Higgins at his pastoral property at Currency Creek with the homestead 'Higginsbrook' figuring prominently in the smaller one. In the other two photographs Higgins is shown standing on rocks at the coast at Middleton the site was identified on the verso in pencil. The photographer is unidentified; the images are undated but we suggest the 1860s. Irish-born Thomas Walker Higgins 1810-1899 emigrated to South Australia in September 1839. The following year he and his wife and their only child 'journeyed to the South Coast where good land was plenty. They took up a run near Currency Creek and on Section 2147 in the hundred of Goolwa they built their home naming it "Higginsbrook" after his family's ancestral home back in Ireland. It was built on a side of a hill giving a scenic view over the valley towards the sea. In 1849 Thomas Higgins purchased what is now known as Middleton. In 1854 he had the land surveyed and made plans for the township of Middleton naming after his connection with Ireland' genealogical information sourced with many thanks from the Higgins family genealogy page on RootsWeb. 4 items. unknown

Provenance: 'given me from "Manoah" Library' is written in ink on the verso of the front flyleaf; a bookplate 'Words Words Words F A S' is mounted on the front pastedown. 'Manoah' was the name of the Adelaide Hills estate of Sir Josiah Symon 1846-1934; 'F A S' may be a Symon family member. Sir Josiah Symon 'was born in Scotland and migrated to South Australia in 1866. He was called to the South Australian Bar in 1871 and became Attorney-General in a conservative government when he won the state seat of Sturt in 1881. Sir Josiah was the acknowledged leader of the South Australian Bar for over 30 years through his understanding of the law and skill as an advocate. His major contribution to Australian politics was in the area of Federation. He was a prominent member of the 1897-98 Australasian Federal Convention. He saw the major issues of Federation as equal representation of the states in the Senate; the solution of deadlocks between the two Houses of Parliament; the Murray River; and the establishment of an Australian Supreme Court to replace the Privy Council. The first three issues are still topical today the fourth was resolved several years ago. Sir Josiah was a person of broad scholarship. He wrote "Shakespeare the Englishman" in 1929 and was a member of several literary associations. The library at Sir Josiah's Upper Sturt estate "Manoah" consisted of 10000 law and literature volumes reflecting his interests in Shakespeare travel history and biography. He bequeathed his collection excluding approximately 2500 law books to the State Library where it remains an excellent example of a "gentleman's library". The terms of the bequest were that the books should not be marked or rebound which makes it a useful source of examples of original bindings particularly in pictorial cloth' State Library of South Australia website.
