179946241Philadelphia: Robert Campbell 1799. First American edition. Hardcover. g to vg. Large octavo 8 1/2 x 5 1/2". xxiii 1 297 1pp Vol. 1; 267 1 xxivpp Vol. 2. Modern brown cloth with gold lettered leather title label to spine. Engraved frontispiece to both volumes. Lacking the separately printed atlas as usual.<br /> <br /> First American edition of this official report on the British Macartney Embassy to China that took place between 1792 and 1794. It was written after the return to England by the Secretary to the mission Sir George Leonard Staunton 1st Baronet 1737-1801 based on his own observations and notes from other crewmembers including his twelve-year-old son Sir George Thomas Staunton 2nd Baronet. <br /> <br /> "The account offers rich insights into the beginnings of British Imperialism in China and thus makes it an important primary source for the historiography of Sino-Western relations. There is an academic dispute whether the account marks a sudden turning point in British-Chinese dynamics or reflects a slow and complex divergence. <br /> <br /> While the political and economic ambitions of the embassy failed the account by Staunton brought back detailed descriptions of and observations on the Chinese culture that were received with curiosity in the West and led to the commercial success of the book and the publication of several translations and subsequent writings on the Macartney Mission." From Wikipedia<br /> <br /> This work is splendidly illustrated throughout with eight stunning engravings by Samuel Seymour two in volume one six in volume two including the frontispieces as called for in the directions to the binder. The xxiv page appendix contains detailed tables and charts dealing with population and socio-economic information.<br /> <br /> Previous owner's stamp E. W.
