A. Hoskins is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The work chronicles the author's journey in 1833 to explore the upper regions of Ethiopia and the ancient kingdom of Meroe, focusing on its antiquities and the state of its inhabitants during the dominion of Mohammed Ali. The opening of the book sets the stage for Hoskins' ambitious expedition, detailing his preparations and the motivations behind his journey to Meroe, an area that few Europeans had explored at the time. As he prepares to cross the Nubian Desert, the author reflects on his past experiences with Egyptian antiquities and the knowledge gained from other explorers. He describes his mixed feelings about the arduous trek ahead, emphasizing the interesting yet challenging landscape while also hinting at the cultural richness of the tribes he may encounter. The initial chapters provide insight into the logistical challenges of the journey, the characters who accompany him, and Hoskins' readiness to document the ancient marvels of this relatively uncharted territory.
