The author, Oldmixon, argues that Maccartney's failed mission was not due to a lack of diplomatic skill, but rather to the Chinese emperor's unwillingness to open his country to foreign trade. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of British-Chinese relations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work is in the \"public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
