Excerpt from With the Mission to Menelik, 1897
The following pages contain the simple tale of the journey of the Mission to Addis Abbaba and back, made up from my own recollections and impressions de voyage. In the few places where I have drifted into remarks which might seem to come within the domain of politics, these are made entirely on my own responsibility, and are not in any way to be taken as an expression of official views.
My best thanks are due to those members of the Mission who have allowed me to make use of their diaries or photographs. For my own sketches I crave the indulgence of my readers.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the authorââ â¢s firsthand experience as a member of a British diplomatic mission to Abyssinia (modern-day Ethiopia) in 1897. The author provides a fascinating glimpse into the cultural landscape of the country at a pivotal moment in its history, when Emperor Menelik II was consolidating his power and asserting his nationââ â¢s independence after a decisive victory over the Italians at the Battle of Adowa. The journey, chronicled in vivid detail, is not only a testament to the authorââ â¢s keen observation of the people and their customs, but also a testament to the rigors of travel at the time. The bookââ â¢s detailed account of the preparations for the journey, the challenges faced in navigating treacherous terrain, and the encounters with diverse cultures along the way offer a captivating portrait of late 19th-century East Africa. The author, with an eye for detail and a wit that shines through in his descriptions, brings to life the complex relationship between the British Empire and Abyssinia, a relationship shaped by historical events, political ambitions, and a growing sense of Abyssinian national pride. This book provides valuable insights into the political and social dynamics of the time and serves as a unique window into a bygone era in the history of East Africa. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
