Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Pursuits of Literature, Vol. 4 of 4: A Satirical Poem in Dialogue; With Notes The Imperial Epistle from Kien Lono, Emperor of China, to George the Third, King of Great Britain, &c. &c. in the Year 1794. Transmitted from the Emperor, and presented to his Britannick Majesty by his Excellency the Right Hon. George Earl Macartney, of the Kingdom of Ireland, K. B. Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Emperor of China, in the Years 1792, 1793, 1794. Translated into English Verse from the Original Chinese Poetry. With notes by various Persons of Eminence and Distinction, and by the Translator. Ignotum Rutulis Carmen cæloque Latino Fingimus, et Finem egressi Legemque priorum. N. B. It is thought proper to mention, that The Imperial Epistle is not a burlesque Poem in any sense of the word. But it is a Poem built upon the circumstances of the times, delineating the Characters of the Statesmen of Great Britain, with satire, pleasantry, or with praise; and exhibiting a picture of Europe at the period of its date. The whole is as the title implies conveyed under Chinese imagery and allusions, illustrated by references to original Writers, consistent with its Plan and Subject.
