	Maccartney Embassy
		In Macartney’s day an embassy was essentially a court abroad, a group of people, not a plot of land, representative of one nation on another nations soil.
		Scholars argue that while Macartney intends his journal as a historical record of the first British Embassy to China it may be read more as a work of fiction, a travel narrative, because of the enormous amount of commentary he includes (Hevia 90).
		It seems that Macartney is disappointed that China isn’t the magical kingdom of which he read, and he is taking out is anger of disappointment on the Chinese rather than on his own imagination.
