Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Abyssinia Many of the happiest days of my life have been spent in the uplands of Abyssinia, enjoying the ever varying scenery Of mountain, valley and plain, looking at the lovely flowers, plants and trees, the birds with their gorgeous plumage, the animals and the butterflies, moths and insects, many of them being unknown in other countries. NO day ever seemed to be too long, and I know of no country that would repay the botanist, naturalist, geologist or artist better, than a year passed collecting and studying the varied objects to be met with. The seasons in Abyssinia are more marked than in many other parts of the world, and immediately after the rains commence there is a change from the dull browns, greys and reds of the forest, field and fell, to vivid and tender greens of all shades, and this sudden alteration in the colours of the landscape is more marked in the provinces of Tigre and Amhara in the north and centre, than in the open wind swept downs of Shoa in the southern portion of the kingdom. I have seen the country at all times of the year: during the rainy season and the dry, after the summer and winter rains, while the ground is being broken up and the seed planted, and at harvest time when the crops are being gathered; also during the time of peace and prosperity, with the busy villages and contented inhabitants, during war, famine and pestilence and then still at another time, when kind nature in one short season has hidden man's hideous handiwork and covered the ruins of the hamlets and their unburied occupants with a thick growth of vegetation. There is no harder worker than the Abyssinian peasant, and no more harmless and hospitable person when left alone and properly treated; and no more truculent, worthless, conceited, lazy and useless individual than the Abyssinian soldier, who formerly did nothing but prey upon the de fenceless cultivator.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abyssinia and Its Apostle When I began the translation of this little book at the beginning of the year, I only thought of giving my readers the biography of a holy and apostolic Bishop, living in this nineteenth century, with whose reputation for sanctity and wisdom my Eastern wanderings had made me acquainted, even before the French publication of his Life. Other and more pressing occupations made me lay aside the translation for some months, when I was induced to resume it for the following reasons.

Download or read book Routes in Abyssinia Classic Reprint written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Routes in Abyssinia The object of this compilation is to collect together the information on the routes in Abyssinia which is scattered through the works of different travellers. This information has been arranged in the following order: - General description of the country and of the different routes by which it can be entered. Short outline of the nature of the Government, the religion and character of the inhabitants, the currency, the military system of the country, and the career and character of the present Emperor Theodore. Reference to the Portuguese expedition of 1541, and to the places of entrance into the country which have been adopted by travellers since the 16th century. Detailed account of the routes leading from Massowah and Ausley Bay to Gondar and Magdala. Extracts from works of various travellers bearing upon the different lines of roads. A map, compiled from the records of travellers, is given at the end. The orthography of names of places, &c., in Abyssinia is so indefinite, hardly any two travellers agreeing, that it has been found impossible to avoid, in all cases, discrepancies of spelling between the maps and the text. Abyssinian villages and towns appear to be often of a very temporary nature, and those recorded by one traveller are often not mentioned by the next one who follows the same route; some of the places laid down may therefore be no longer in existence, and others may have sprung up. The data also for laying down many of them are of very doubtful accuracy. Compiled at the Topographical and Statistical Department of the War Office, by Lieut.-Colonel A. C. Cooke, C. B., R. E.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Voyage to Abyssinia J eronimo lobo was born in Lisbon in the year 1593. He entered the Order of the Jesuits at the age of sixteen. After passing through the studies by which Jesuits were trained for missionary work, which in cluded special attention to the arts of speaking and writing, Father Lobo was sent as a missionary to India at the age of twenty-eight, in the year 1621. He reached Goa, as his book tells, in 1622, and was in 1624, at the age of thirty-one, told off as one of the missionaries to be employed in the conversion of the Abyssinians. They were to be converted, from a form of Christianity peculiar to themselves, to orthodox Catholicism. The Abyssinian Emperor Segued was protector of the enterprise, of which we have here the story told. Father Lobo was nine years in Abyssinia, from the age of thirty-one to the age of forty, and this was the adventurous time of his life. The death of the Emperor Segued put an end to the protection that had given the devoted missionaries, in the midst of dangers, a precarious hold upon their work. When he and his comrades fell into the hands of. The Turks at Massowah, his vigour of body and mind, his readi ness of resource, and his fidelity, marked him out as the one to be sent to the headquarters in India to secure the payment of a ransom for his companions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reconnoitring in Abyssinia: A Narrative of the Proceedings of the Reconnoitring Party, Prior to the Arrival of the Main Body of the Expeditionary Field Force Although more than one account of the Abyssinian Expedition has been published, little beyond a passing notice has been accorded by the writers to the operations of the Reconnoitring Party, which preceded the Expeditionary Force. This omission is probably owing to the fact, that the authors did not accompany, or belong to, that Party, and were consequently unwilling to describe what they had not personally witnessed.
