Reading Instructions:
While reading this book you will need to know few things. The (ſ) you constantly see represents an (s) sound. To accurately read this book from front to back, you will need to mentally switch every (ſ) into an (s).
Why?
The long s ⟨ſ⟩, also known as the medial s or initial s, is an archaic form of the lowercase letter ⟨s⟩. It replaced the single s, or one or both[a] of the letters s in a "double s" sequence (e.g., "ſinfulneſs" for "sinfulness" and "poſſeſs" or "poſseſs" for "possess", but never *"poſſeſſ").[1] The modern ⟨s⟩ letterform is known as the "short", "terminal", or "round" s. In typography, it is known as a type of swash letter, commonly referred to as a "swash s".[2] The long s is the basis of the first half of the grapheme of the German alphabet ligature letter ⟨ß⟩,[3] (eszett or scharfes s [sharp s]).

Quick Notes:
"They are of dark color not much unlike the Ethiopians."
Not much unlike = similar to. Its texture is not unlike that of oatmeal.
"Not unlike" is slightly different than saying "like" much like saying "I love apples" is not the same thing as saying "I don't hate apples." It emphasizes a different degree of likeness. "Not unlike" just means that there exist similarities while "like" means they are similar.
