Omtale

This 1908 biography of the British statesman, diplomat and administrator George Macartney (1737–1806) made use of much previously unpublished material, including letters and documents from the family archives. It complements the two-volume 1807 account of Macartney's life by Sir John Barrow, also reissued in this series.
