This fascinating and unparalleled biography is highly recommended for those with an interest in the life and mind of this remarkable man, and it is not to be missed by the discerning collector.
Sir Harry Smith Parkes (21828 - 1885) was a British diplomat who served as Envoy and Consul General of the United Kingdom to the Empire of Japan from 1865-83 and the Chinese Qing Empire from 1883-85, and Minister to Korea in 1884.
Contents include: "The First Treaty with China", "Presentation of Harry Parkes", "Birth and Parentage", "Education: King Edward's Grammar School", "His Sisters Settle in China with the Gutzlaffs", "Mr William Lockhart", "Retrospect of British Relations with China", "End of East India Company's Charter", "The Opium Trade", etc. Many antiquarian texts such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high quality edition.
