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).
