"Bruce arrived in Alexandria in 1768 having determined to discover the source of the Nile, which he believed to be in Abyssinia. He reached Kossier via Cairo and Thebes where he embarked in the dress of a Turkish sailor for Jidda. He eventually reached Gondar in Abyssinia in 1770 where his linguistic skills, resourcefulness and courage made a fine impression, especially upon the Negus and Ras Michael. He stayed there for two years before finally reaching the source of the Blue Nile, and in 1771 he also found its confluence with the White Nile having surmounted numerous difficulties. This work is particularly important for its portrayal of Abyssinia, little-known to his contemporaries, for its literary merits, and for the final volume on natural history, in spite of the incredulity with which his account was originally received."
