Demetrius C. Boulger (1853–1928) published several works on Asia including this 1908 biography of Sir Halliday Macartney (1833–1906). After army service in India and China, the medically qualified Macartney directed an arsenal at Nanking before becoming a successful diplomat who influenced Anglo-Chinese relations for over thirty years.
