The First British Trade Expedition to China: Captain Weddell and the Courteen Fleet in Asia and Late Ming Canton

Synopsis:“In this lively account of Sino-British exchanges, Nicholas D. Jackson provides us with the first book-length narrative of the much-neglected Weddell voyage to China in 1637. Scholars of the British Empire and East-West interactions will find much relevance in this masterfully delivered dialogue between two contending world powers.”—Paul A. Van Dyke, author of The Canton Trade: Life and Enterprise on the China Coast, 1700–1845
