Wanderings among the Falashas in Abyssinia;

The author, a Protestant missionary, visited Ethiopia in 1859 to spread Christianity among the Falashas, or Ethiopian Jews. He is the first traveller to describe several of these settlements. Also of interest are passages critical of Emperor Téwodros which led to Stern's subsequent detention. The author, who was the first traveller to take photographs in Ethiopia, illustrates his work with excellent engravings.
