Though Macartney and Staunton had an audience with the emperor their proposals were rebuffed. In China [Staunton] closely observed and noted all that he saw, and during expeditions he was able to collect botanical specimens. His son, George Thomas, then just twelve years old, accompanied him to China as page to Lord Macartney, and was the only member of the mission who bothered to learn Chinese" (DNB). Staunton's account of this important, but ultimately unsuccessful mission, conceived on a grand scale, takes in numerous places visited en route: Madeira, Tenerife, Rio de Janeiro, Java, Sumatra, Cochin-China, etc. Brunet V:525; Cox I:344; Cordier Sinica 2382

FRASER MD FSA SCOT (1937-2020)Arthur Conolly, an officer in the army of the East India Company, decided in 1829 to return to India from sick leave in England via the overland route through central Asia. Reaching Asterabad (modern Gorgan) in Persia, 'he disguised himself as an Asian merchant, with a stock of furs and shawls, hoping to reach Khiva. He left Asterabad for the Turkoman steppes on 26th April 1830, but when the little caravan to which he attached himself was about halfway between Krasnovodsk and Kizil Arvat he was seized by nomads and robbed. The Turkomans were undecided whether to kill him or sell him into slavery. Tribal jealousies in the end secured his release, and he returned to Asterabad on 22nd May 1830, from where he travelled to India by way of Mashhad, Herat, and Kandahar, visiting Sind, and finally crossing the Indian frontier in January 1831' (ODNB). He is remembered for coining the term the 'Great Game', and after a long period of imprisonment in Bukhara was eventually executed on the orders of the amir, along with British envoy Colonel Charles Stoddart.
