WITH THE BRITISH MISSION TO 

 MENELIK, 1897. 



By COUNT GLEICHEN, 



Captain Grenadier Guards, Intelligence Officer to the Mission. 



With numerous Illustrations by the Author and a Map. Demy 8vo., i6s. 



This book gives the only authentic account of the extremely interest- 

 ing mission to Menelik in 1897. Everyday the relations of this country 

 with Abyssinia are becoming more important as our advance up the Nile 

 progresses ; while in Somaliland and at Kassala we shall shortly find 

 ourselves face to face with the * Empire of Ethiopia.' Much has hap- 

 pened since Sir Gerald Portal's Mission to Abyssinia some years ago, 

 and the present expedition, headed by Mr. Rennell Rodd, passed through 

 an entirely new country and had opportunities never before enjoyed by 

 Englishmen of examining its resources and observing the power of 

 Menelik's military dominion. 



Count Gleichen has already made a literary reputation by his work, 

 1 With the Camel Corps up the Nile,' and has written an entertaining 

 and very valuable book.
