Excerpt from An Enquiry Into M. Antoine D'abbadie's Journey to Kaffa, in the Years 1843 and 1844, to Discover the Source of the NileIt is now, however, time that the real question between M. D'abbadie and myself should be brought prominently forward. I believe that the journey to Kaffa, alleged to have been performed by him in the years 1843 and 1844, did not take place, and the reasons for this belief are here submitted to the public, with the convie tion that they will be acknowledged to be conclusive.Being desirous of not keeping up the controversy in the Athenaeum longer than was absolutely necessary, I refrained from noticing several of M. D'abbadie's letters inserted in that Journal. Those letters are now given in an Appendix, together with my refutation of their contents which, while it will show that great forbearance has been exercised in allowing them to remain so long unanswered, will at the same time afford additional. Evidence of the little dependence to be placed on that traveller' s statements respecting the countries which he professes to have visited.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
