First French translation, in a second edition published the same year as the original, of this work first published in English in 1795. Copper-engraved portrait-frontispiece of Emperor Qianlong (K'ien-Long). Lord Macartney's embassy in China. The gradual closure of China since the beginning of the 18th century, when only Canton remained open to Europeans, prompted England to send an embassy to the emperor to obtain greater freedom for its trade, particularly in tea. This embassy, headed by Lord Macartney, made a long journey by sea, via Madeira, the Canaries, Cape Verde, Rio de Janeiro, then, after rounding the Cape of Good Hope, via Java, Sumatra, along Cochinchina and China to the mouth of the Yang-Tse-Kiang. Lord Macartney then reached Peking and the emperor's summer residence at Jehol. Aeneas Anderson's account is one of the most important sources on this embassy, along with the accounts of John Barrow, Samuel Holmes, Johann Christian Huttner and George Staunton. As Lord Macartney's servant, Aeneas Anderson proved to be an intelligent, attentive and broad-minded observer. After his return from China, he would become an officer in the British army, serving in Malta and Egypt against the French. Joint: Levaillant (François) [and Casimir Varon]. Voyage [...] dans l'intérieur de l'Afrique, par le Cap de Bonne-Espérance, dans les années 1780, 81, 82, 83, 84 &85.
