Description of Memoirs of the Chief Incidents of the Public Life of Sir George Thomas Staunton, Bart., Hon. D.C.L. of Oxford
Staunton was a sinologist and an influential figure in nineteenth-century Anglo-Chinese relations. He worked for the East India Company's Canton factory from 1798 to 1817 before returning to England to serve as a Tory MP (1818-1852). Staunton's Memoirs provide a unique insight into British perceptions of China.
