CITATION CHECK
Title, creator, publisher and date checked against the catalogue record on 2026-10-05 by an automated check. The Wikisource Index record and the Internet Archive item (from the Royal College of Surgeons of England) agree on the author, the title, the printer Taylor and Francis and the year 1874. Date confirmed to the year. SmellBook publishes only the citation, the location of the passage and its own claim, never the work’s text.
In an 1874 publication, Robert Bentley describes the foliage of eucalyptus groves as giving the surrounding air an odour he calls agreeable, aromatic, camphoraceous and stimulating.
A botanist's description published in 1874, set within the miasma theory of fever, which SmellBook does not endorse; it is not a measurement of eucalyptus odour.EXTERNAL RECORD
