Résumé
General View of what Travellers are likely to meet with in China.-Mistaken Notions entertained with regard to the British Embassy-corrected by the Reception and Treatment of the subsequent Dutch Embassy.-Supposed Points of Failure in the former, as stated by a French Missionary from Pekin, refuted.-Kien Long's Letter to the King of Holland.-Difference of Treatment experienced by the two Embassies explained.-Intrigues of Missionaries in foreign Countries.-Pride and Self-Importance of the Chinese Court.-List of European Embassies, and the Time of their Abode in Pekin.-Conclusion of Preliminary Subject. IT is hardly necessary to observe that, after the able and interesting account of the proceedings and result of the British Embassy to the court of China, by the late Sir George Staunton (who was no less amiable for liberality of sentiment, than remarkable for vigour of intellect) it would be an idle, and, indeed, a superfluous undertaking, in any other person who accompanied the embassy, to dwell on those subjects which have been treated by him in so masterly a manner; or to recapitulate those incidents and transactions, which he has detailed with equal elegance and accuracy.
