Description

Name/date to front end paper. No other marks or inscriptions. A very clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards, slightly foxed page edges and no bumping to corners. Dust jacket not price clipped or marked or torn or creased. 240pp. A well-researched account of the behaviour of Theodorus who had fought to become so called 'Emperorr of all Abyssinia' in the 1860s. After receiving no response from Queen Victoria on his proposal for diplomatic relations, he imprisoned a number of Europeans and it required the British Army to attack and defeat the Abyssinian forces at Magdala.
