Excerpt from The British Captives in Abyssinia When I sat clown to prepare for the press a second edition of the pamphlet which I published nearly two years ago, I contemplated a tract of perhaps twice or thrice the size of the former edition. As the work grew under my hand, I soon perceived that it would make a fair-sized volume: by and by I found that it might be enough for two volumes. Under this change of circumstances, it became necessary to decide whether I should delay the publication of any portion of the work until I had completed the whole, or whether I ought not rather at once to issue the first part of it, which is really an enlargement of the former edition, and leave the remainder, which relates more especially to myself and the journey that my wife and I have just undertaken, to form not merely a second volume but a separate work. Feeling that the public must be far more interested in the fate of the hapless British Captives in Abyssinia than in our personal adventures, I have deemed the former course to be the preferable one.
