Lord Macartney's mission to open up China in 1792 failed, but it
did give the Western world its first glimpse of the secretive
Middle Kingdom, through the memoirs written by eight different
members of the embassy. But the most lively and accessible of the
books was that written by Aeneas Anderson, Lord Macartney's valet.
China scholar Frances Wood introduces Anderson's account of the
two-year adventure, which make clear that the valet was seeing far
more of China than his master was. His descriptions of life in
China and Manchuria in the late 18th century are a hugely valuable
and very readable resource, and Frances Wood is as insightful as
always.
