Waldmeier is reticent about describing the dramatic events that characterise his years spent in Abyssinia: “Now I will narrate the facts which gave rise to all the difficulties, captivity, trials, bloodshed, and horrors, which ended with the costly English expedition, and the suicide of King Theodore, which have never been thoroughly described …” (page 74).
