On the departure of Henry Salt in 1810, his servant Nathaniel Pearce remained in Ethiopia until 1819, becoming fluent in Tegrenya and Amharic. 'A down-to-earth account which has not received the attention it deserves. The work is particularly valuable for its painstaking description of the common people of northern Ethiopia' (Pankhurst).

First edition. 2 volumes 8vo, ix, 348; viii, 349 pp., occasional light spotting, original plum pebble-grained cloth, morocco labels, spines faded, a very good set.
