Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores Britain's four diplomatic missions to Beijing in the 18th and 19th centuries, drawing on previously unpublished archival sources. It presents a detailed account of the 1698 French mission, which was unknown to later British ambassadors, and examines the reasons for the failure of the 1816 mission under Lord Amherst. The author argues that these missions provide important insights into the history of Sino-Western relations and the challenges of intercultural diplomacy. The book also discusses the broader context of these missions, including the humanitarian concerns of the time, the abolition of slavery, and the rise of the Chinese Empire in the 18th century. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of understanding the complexities of Chinese history and diplomacy in order to build a more just and cooperative relationship between China and the West. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330214732_0
