Описание: Published in 1892, this two-volume biography chronicles the remarkable life and career of Sir George Grey (1812-98), the 11th premier of New Zealand. William Lee Rees (1836-1912), lawyer, politician and well-known supporter of Grey, co-wrote this work with his daughter Lily, and the books outline how Grey became arguably the most influential figure during the European settlement of New Zealand in the nineteenth century. The volumes proceed chronologically and are organised by the main events in Grey's life. Volume 1 begins with Grey's upbringing and early years, and describes his first voyage to Western Australia, his first government of New Zealand and his first period as governor of Cape Colony. Volume 2 covers Grey's second governorships of Cape Colony and New Zealand, his engagement in English politics and his return to New Zealand in 1870. It concludes with an assessment of Grey's personal characteristics, successes and failures.
Описание: Staunton was a sinologist and an influential figure in nineteenth-century Anglo-Chinese relations. He worked for the East India Company`s Canton factory from 1798 to 1817 before returning to England to serve as a Tory MP (1818-1852). Staunton`s Memoirs provide a unique insight into British perceptions of China.

Описание: Edward T. O`Donnell`s exploration of Henry George`s life and times merges labor, ethnic, intellectual, and political history to illuminate the early labor movement in New York during the Gilded Age. George`s accessible, forward-thinking ideas on democracy, equality, and freedom have tremendous value for contemporary debates.

Описание: Revered as a general and trusted as America`s first elected leader, George Washington is considered a great many things in the contemporary imagination, but an intellectual is not one of them. In correcting this longstanding misconception, The Books in George Washington`s Life offers a stimulating literary biography that traces the effects of a life spent in self-improvement.
