Anotace knihy

This vintage book contains volume I Stanley Lane-Poole's 1894 biography of Sir Henry Parkes, "The Life of Sir Harry Parkes Vol. I. - Consul in China". This fascinating and unparalleled biography is highly recommended for those with an interest in the life and mind of this remarkable man, and it is not to be missed by the discerning collector. Sir Henry Parkes (1815 - 1896) was an Australian businessman and politician who served as a Premier of New South Wales. He was a significant advocate of the Federation of Australia, and is often referred to as the "Father of Federation". Contents include: "The First Treaty with China", "Presentation of Harry Parkes", "Birth and Parentage", "Education: King Edward's Grammar School", "His Sisters Settle in China with the Gutzlaffs", "Mr William Lockhart", "Retrospect of British Relations with China", "End of East India Company's Charter", "The Opium Trade", etcetera. Many antiquarian texts such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
