(William Cornwallis), Sir The Highlands of Ethiopia Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "The Highlands of Ethiopia" by Sir William Cornwallis Harris is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work details Harris's expedition and experiences as he leads a British Embassy to the kingdom of Shoa in Ethiopia, illuminating the region's geography, culture, and the nature of the mission itself. The author seeks to provide a nuanced picture of the people and landscapes of Abyssinia while addressing specific criticisms of his earlier writings and the journey undertaken. At the start of the narrative, the author reflects on the preparation and departure of the British Embassy from India, establishing the framework for the journey to the rugged Highlands of Ethiopia. He describes the environment, the ship's journey, and the various personalities involved in the mission, all while hinting at the challenges ahead. Harris acknowledges the mixed reception of his previous work, stirring anticipation for what is to come, and lays the groundwork for a detailed exploration of the complexities of Ethiopian society as well as the natural beauty encountered along the way. The introduction also signals his intent to respond to critics while maintaining an engaging narrative style, making it clear that the journey is as much about the mission as it is about understanding the rich tapestry of Ethiopian life.
