Augustus B. Wylde
Modern Abyssinia
London, Methuen & Co., 1901. First edition. Editor's blue cloth hardcover.

Ex libris on the paste down end paper. The front cover shows some white staining, the binding is solid and the pages are clean. A good copy. "Wylde returned to Ethiopia after the battle of Adwa in 1896 to report on it for the Manchester Guardian. One of the few books of the period written from an essentially pro-Ethiopian standpoint."
