Description

1798 NAPOLEON + Early Macartney in CHINA Illustrated German Historical Calendar

“The Empire of China is an old, crazy, first-rate Man of War” – George Macartney

Two works of German history – ‘Historical Genealogy’ and ‘Macartney’s Trip to China’.

‘Historical Genealogy Calendar of 1798’ is a descriptive report and chronological list of strange and interesting world events from the year 1798. This year was a critical year in the Napoleonic Wars, in which Napoleon led troops all over Europe and Northern Africa.

George Macartney, an 18th-century English diplomat who was appointed to be on the first British survey of China, following a number of unsuccessful attempts. He kept a journal in which he describes observations and sights in China, most of which are opinion, but he does speak to the military power and Chinese industry.
