Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In 1845, Robert Fortune was sent to China to collect samples of the Orient's botanical treasures. He was in the last days of a three-year expedition to China, conducted at the behest of the Royal Horticultural Society of London, to find and collect samples of the Orient's botanical riches. #2 The British Empire was a source of opportunity for many entrepreneurial Scots who were eager to make a living abroad. With their lively minds, they rose quickly through the ranks of horticulture. #3 The British had some knowledge of China's affairs through trading contact, but the interior of China was still largely a mystery. The emperor took great efforts to keep foreigners from exploring his territory and exploiting its resources. #4 Fortune was chosen to lead the China expedition despite lacking the typical gentleman's background that would fit him for such a prestigious Society assignment. He was paid wages of only £100 a year, a paltry sum on which to raise a family.
