George Thomas Staunton
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.
