Excerpt from Abyssinia of to-Day: An Account of the First Mission Sent by the American Government to the Court of the King of Kings (1903 1904) We boast of our own Christian civilization, and we are undertaking with our railroads and other Western inventions to break down a civilization virtually like that in which Christ Himself lived and moved; we boast of our law, and we send our agents to teach a land in which judges administer justice based upon precepts of the open Bible in their hand. Returning travellers have usually come back with grotesque tales, and in their own amusement have commonly forgotten the vital facts in regard to this interesting people of Caucasian ancestry. I trust that the earnest student will not be too late, for when steam has replaced the camel and the mule, the old Ethiopia will have passed away for ever.

Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER V Royalty joins the American Mission--A steer the measure of greatness--Night journey across Mount Asabot--The only elephant--A fantasia. The boy-King asked permission to accompany us to Derebella the next morning, and in a moment of weakness not only was he permitted to do so, but was provided with a mule. The most vicious animal in our possession was turned over to him, probably with the expectation that he would break his neck, or the mule. Our own men had failed to do the latter. To the credit of the alleged King be it said that he stuck his great toes into the rings that served him as stirrups, and the mule acknowledged allegiance immediately. Our route lay across beautiful prairies, upon which members of our party shot wild guinea-fowl and other winged game. Private Wurm shot a wolf, and another one of our men a fawn. A returning caravan was encountered, and when the superb black man in charge of it recognised friends among our domestics he fired his rifle in the air several times to adequately express his joy. The friends kissed each other upon the lips. On several occasions when Oualdo son of Mikael met acquaintances they always descended from their mules, bowed low as they approached, and then embraced. The conversation began with a sort of invocation to Providence and inquiries after all members of their respective families. When the Ethiopian encounters a superior, he lowers his chamma from his shoulders before speaking. A superior is always addressed in the third person, and if high respect is to be paid the plural form of the third person is employed. The superior alone may say 'thee' and 'thou, ' and rarely to others than servants. At Derebella we camped a long distance from the wells, and had barely sufficient water..

Excerpt from Narrative of the British Mission to Theodore, King of Abyssinia, Vol. 1 of 2: With Notices of the Countries Traversed From Massowah, Through the Soodan, the Amhara, and Back to Annesley Bay, From Magdala I deem it desirable, by way of introduction to the following Narrative, to say a few words, in the first place, on my appointment to the charge of the British Mission to King Theodore. The appointment took me by surprise while engaged in my official duties at Aden. Of come, when the order came directing me to convey a letter from her Most Gracious Majesty to the King of Abyssinia, I was bound to obey. Nevertheless, I need hardly say that I felt highly honoured by the distinction which the order implied. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
