This article examines a significant debate on China and the Chinese market held within the British mercantile community in the early 1830s. Occurring in the years before the East India Company's monopoly over China trade was abolished in 1834, this debate has received much less attention than the Macartney embassy and the rise of the opium trade. This article shows that, in order to suit their own economic interests, supporters of the EIC and the ‘free traders’ presented rival images of China and the China trade to lead the governing authorities and the wider public to understand the country and its people in a way most favourable to themselves. Compared to the earlier European accounts of China, which examined different aspects of Chinese civilisation and were at least to some degree academic, this debate within the British mercantile community was clearly aimed at influencing the country's commercial policy in China. Although neither side was genuinely interested in discovering the ‘real’ China, this competition in image-building was crucial to Britain's relations with China in the era leading to the First Opium War.

Juxtaposing the private papers of Louis Mountbatten and Claude Auchinleck, this article seeks to shed light on the most influential factor in the reconstitution of the British Indian Army into the Indian and Pakistani armies, namely, the two men's worsening relationship between April and November 1947, in view of what each saw as the other's partisan position, and its consequences: the closure of Auchinleck's office and his departure from India. In doing so, it brings to the fore another aspect of that fraught period of transition, at the end of which the British Indian Empire was transformed into the dominions of India and Pakistan, and highlights the peculiar predicament in which the British found themselves during the transfer of power.

Despite the prominence of Britain in the Korean diplomatic and academic traditions, the popular perception of Britain has received little scholarly attention. This article attempts to reconstruct Korean perceptions of Britain by analysing a total of 565 articles from six major daily newspapers from between 1920 and 1999 that address British materials, merchandise, brands, consumption patterns and related aspects. The image of Britain embedded in material culture as portrayed in Korean newspapers reflected aspects of Korean-British dynamics that were far more diverse and multivalent than indicated by common diplomatic concepts or textbooks. This study has shown that while Britain was largely viewed as a role model for modernisation in Korea, its image underwent a series of transformations in which its authority as an influential country was often challenged. From the late nineteenth century onwards, British goods were circulated in Korean markets. These goods enjoyed considerable popularity among Korean consumers throughout the twentieth century. Burberry especially stands as an exceptional case as it penetrated deeply into Korean daily life. Burberry was often used as a generic pronoun, and acquired unique prestige as a royal-approved British brand, a favourite target for counterfeit manufacturers and a symbol of high social status.

‘Anglophilia’ was a Europe-wide phenomenon during the eighteenth century, and in Austria and particularly Vienna this affinity for things and persons ‘English’ was widespread. For many British visitors in late eighteenth-century Vienna the attraction was apparently mutual. With remarkable consistency, both private correspondence and the published reports of British travelers included praise for the hospitality and openness of two Viennese households, those of the Thun and Pergen families. During several decades, until the early 1790s, a substantial if indeterminate number of British individuals and groups arrived in Vienna and received a consistently enthusiastic welcome in the residences of the countesses Thun and Pergen. Why a predilection for Vienna should have developed among visitors from the British Isles, which lacked a shared religion, dynastic connection, or ease of access to the Viennese capital, is a question that merits attention. Interactions that occurred in and around these anglophile households can serve as instructive examples of contemporary British-Austrian ‘sociability’ in action.
