The Life of Sir Harry Parkes Volume 2 is a biography written by Frederick V. Dickins. The book chronicles the life of Sir Harry Parkes, who was a British diplomat and politician. Parkes served as Her Majesty's Minister to China and Japan during the late 19th century, a time of great political and social upheaval in both countries. The book covers Parkes' early life, his diplomatic career, and his personal relationships with key figures in both China and Japan. It also delves into Parkes' role in the Opium Wars, his efforts to establish British trade relations in China, and his advocacy for Japanese modernization. The book is a comprehensive portrait of a complex and influential figure in British diplomatic history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
