Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Account of the English Mission to King Johannis of Abyssinia in 1887
MY friends have asked me to give some account of the adventures of the recent English Mission to the King of Abyssinia, with which I had the honour to be entrusted. As I only propose to write a personal narrative, and not a political treatise, I must be con tent with the bare story of our journey to and from the camp of the King, with a very brief description of the country through which we passed and of the people with whom we came into contact.
