Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Diaries and Letters of Sir George Jackson, K. C. H, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Peace of Amiens to the Battle of Talavera Sir George Jackson was the youngest son of Dr. Thomas Jackson - one of the canons of the Abbey of Westminster, rector of Yarlington, chaplain to Francis, fifth Duke of Leeds, and subsequently canon residentiary of St. Paul´s. He was born in October, 1785, and was destined for the church; but the death of his father, at a comparatively early age, caused a change in the family arrangements. At the close of 1801, he left Westminster to join the special mission to Paris, as unpaid attache; Mr. Francis Jackson, his brother, and senior by many years, being the minister appointed to reside in that capital during the negotiation of the Treaty of peace at Amiens. In the same capacity, he accompanied Mr. Francis Jackson´s mission to Berlin, in October, 1802 - pursuing there his general studies under professors while gaining experience in the line of life he had entered upon.
