Presumably the explanation is that there was humour among the compositors of the year 1844, and that the compiler neglected his proof-reading.] [Footnote 160: “Abyssinia,” pp. 280, 285.] [Footnote 161: “Life in Abyssinia,” pp. 277, 278.] [Footnote 162: A province of Abyssinia.] [Footnote 163: “Abyssinia Described,” by J.

It is the refusal of the _connubium_ that renders the British population in the East of London and elsewhere unable to assimilate the large colonies of Jews who have lately immigrated into this country, and in great part causes the difficulties of the “Alien Question.” The subject has been treated in Major Evans Gordon’s very interesting book, “The Alien Immigrant” (1903).] [Footnote 188: “Wanderings among the Falashas,” p. 187.] [Footnote 189: “The Highlands of Ethiopia,” vol. iii. p. 145.] [Footnote 190: “Wanderings among the Falashas,” pp. 185, 186.] [Footnote 191: “Abyssinia,” p. 329.] [Footnote 192: Major Head’s “Biography,” p. 162.] [Footnote 193: Major Head’s “Biography of Bruce,” pp. 162, 163.] [Footnote 194: “Wanderings among the Falashas,” p. 186.] [Footnote 195: See “Wanderings among the Falashas,” chap. xiv. _et seq._] [Footnote 196: Hotten, p. 166.]
