The Earl of Elgin is a biographical book written by George M. Wrong. The book tells the story of Thomas Bruce, the 7th Earl of Elgin, who was a British diplomat and art collector in the 19th century. The Earl of Elgin is best known for his controversial removal of the Parthenon Marbles from Greece, which he brought back to England and sold to the British Museum. The book explores the life and career of the Earl of Elgin, including his diplomatic missions to China and the Ottoman Empire, as well as his personal life and relationships. Wrong examines the Earl's motivations and actions, as well as the political and cultural context of his time. The book provides an in-depth look at the life of a prominent figure in British history and sheds light on a controversial moment in the history of art and cultural heritage.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
