Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1881 edition. Excerpt: ...Leonard Staunton was born in Ireland, and studied for the medical profession. In 1762 he went to Grenada, where he made the acquaintance of Lord Macartney, and became his secretary. He accompanied him in that capacity to Madras, and took an important part in the negociations with Tippoo Saib. When Lord Macartney was sent on his embassy to China, Sir G eorge Staunton was appointed secretary to the legation. He published an account of his mission in 1797. He died in London. Description.--Two half-length figures seated at a table, which forms the front of the picture, upon which are laid an open map, a folded document, and a treaty rolled and sealed in the oriental fashion. Lord Macartney wears a blue coat, the star of the Bath with the broad red ribbon of the same order over a white waistcoat, a small white turn-down collar, laced frill in front, and ruffles of the same at the wrist. He is seated in a bamboo-backed chair to the right, and extends his right hand as if pointing to the treaty before him. His closely-shaven face is turned in three quarters to the right, and his small dark eyes are directed towards his secretary. The eyebrows are a pale brown, and the powdered grey hair is brushed back with a formal curl set horizontally over the ear. Sir George's figure is turned to the left, wearing a pale drab coat, a white waistcoat, plain cravat, and white frill in front. He carries a large round black hat under his left arm. His right hand rests on the open map, and his forefinger points to a particular spot on it. His close-shaven face is seen in three-quarters to the left, and his pale grey eyes look towards Lord Macartney. The side of his nose is in shadow, and the lips a pale red. His white powdered hair is formally dressed. Background...
