\"Remedius Prutky, Franciscan missionary, was in 1751 appointed vice-prefect to a mission sent to Ethiopia ... The Ethiopian adventure forms the bulk of the whole, and in view of the scarcity of information about that country, is the underlynig reason for translating the book. But Prutky\'s account of Mocha, and of the European trading factories there, as well as his description of India and Ceylon as seen during six weeks in Pndicherry , is of no small interest ...\" Dust Wrapper.
