The first edition of the book was published in two volumes by the English publisher John Murray in 1853. The second edition of Parkyns' book was published in 1868. The author wrote a completely new introduction which had to do with Abyssinian history and methods of government at the time of the Abyssinian expedition commanded by Robert Napier. In short, Parkyns described the political changes which had occurred after he left the country. He was hoping to offer the Victorian reader "a tolerably accurate idea of Abyssinia and Abyssinians." The book consists of 33 chapters which are divided in two volumes. Each of them covers different subjects, including travel, manners and customs.
