"On 2 March 1809 Salt sailed on a mission from the British government to Abyssinia to carry presents to the king and report on the state of the country. Owing to factious unrest he was prevented from going to the king at Gondar and was obliged to deliver the presents instead to the ras of Tigré. While in Abyssinia he made many observations on the geography the customs of the people and the flora and fauna. He brought back many specimens including a previously unknown dik-dik . In 1812 he was elected one of the very few honorary members of the African Association in acknowledgement of information he had procured in its interest. In 1814 he published A Voyage to Abyssinia which was received with some acclaim" ODNB. Salt was subsequently appointed consul-general in Egypt and played an important role in fostering Egyptology financing the excavations of Belzonia Caviglia and d'Athanasi.

Fine. 144 pages 27 cm OCLC 1090892 ; LCCN 44004124 LC TL770 .A38 color art deco design on stiff paper wrappers ; "The present day emphasis on old timers has progressed to the point where it has become necessary to reprint this very popular book of the forties.

Society of Antique Modelers and the trend to nostalgia and the good old days suddenly Air Age's Gas Models is a thing of the present.
