Omtale

Nathaniel Pearce's two-volume autobiographical account, published 1831, is particularly interesting for its detailed information about the land and people of Ethiopia. In Volume 2, the situation in Abyssinia becomes dangerous and Pearce decides to escape down the Nile. The journal ends abruptly in 1819, a year before his death.
