Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a fascinating exploration of the remote island of St. Helena, challenging long-held beliefs about its barrenness and revealing its potential for agricultural prosperity. The author, a former governor of the island, recounts his meticulous investigations into St. Helena's soil, climate, and vegetation, debunking myths and demonstrating its capacity for cultivation and improvement. Set against the backdrop of early 19th-century colonial expansion, the narrative delves into the island's geological origins, pondering its volcanic past and the possibility of it being a remnant of a larger landmass. The author's vivid descriptions of the island's unique landscape, from the fertile plains of Longwood to the rugged cliffs and volcanic formations, transport readers to this isolated world. Through detailed accounts of agricultural experiments, the book explores innovative farming techniques and the successful introduction of crops like potatoes and barley. The author's passion for improvement shines through as he advocates for sustainable practices and challenges the resistance to change among the island's inhabitants. Ultimately, this book offers a compelling testament to human ingenuity and the transformative power of scientific inquiry, leaving readers with a profound appreciation for the hidden potential within even the most unexpected corners of the world.
