Benjamin Hutchison of Wayville was an Adelaide bookseller who bequeathed the bulk of his considerable estate to be divided equally between the State Library of South Australia, the Flinders University Library and the Barr Smith Library at the University of Adelaide. The bequest was made in 1996 with the State Library receiving some $260,000.
A regular user of the Library's Rare Book Collection during the 1980s, the only stipulation of his bequest was that the money be used for the purpose of purchasing 19th century publications.
Mr Hutchison also produced a number of bibliographies on writers such as Guy Boothby, Rolf Boldrewood, Ada Cambridge and others. He also published Bookman's monthly.
