THE REALITIES OF ABYSSINIA.
“It is almost a truism to say that the better a country is known the more difficult it is to write a book about it. Just now we know very little about Abyssinia and therefore trustworthy facts will be read with eagerness.”—Times, Oct. 9.
This day, price 7s. 6d., 400 pages, crown 8vo. cloth neat.
Abyssinia and its People; or, Life in the Land of Pres’er John. Edited by John Camden Hotten, Fellow of the Ethnological Society. With map and eight coloured illustrations.
“This book is specially intended for popular reading at the present time.”
“Mr. Hotten has published a work which presents the best view of the country yet made public. It will undoubtedly supply a want greatly felt.”—Morning Post.
“Very complete and well digested. A cyclopædia of information concerning the country.”—Publisher’s Circular.
“The author is certainly entitled to considerable kudos for the manner in which he has collected and arranged very scattered materials.”—The Press.
“It abounds in interesting and romantic incident, and embodies many graphic pictures of the land we are about to invade. As a handbook for students, travellers, and general readers, it is all that can be desired.”—Court Journal.
“A book of remarkable construction, and at the present moment, peculiarly useful—very valuable and very interesting.”—Morning Star.
