Demedrius Charles

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform

nidottu
This anthology was borne out of many poems which Demedrius Charles continues to pen as often as his experiences and feelings would drive him to do so. It reflects the heart of the writer who for a greater part of his time seeks to identify with what is modern but still is unable to escape the feelings of love and passion which transcends time He tries to bear in this collection the reality of experiences one would be overwhelmed by at varying encounters. Some are indeed his personal experiences and others are yours.

The Life of Sir Halliday Macartney, K.C.M.G.

Demetrius Charles Boulger

Cambridge University Press
2011
pokkari
Demetrius C. Boulger (1853–1928) published several works on Asia, including this 1908 biography of Sir Halliday Macartney (1833–1906), a military doctor turned diplomat. Boulger describes how, interrupting his studies, Macartney served as a medical volunteer with the Anglo-Turkish contingent in the Crimea. After completing his medical degree Macartney joined the army and travelled to India and China. In the early 1860s he took an active part in crushing the Taiping Rebellion under the leadership of the young General (then Captain) Gordon, joined the Chinese Service, and was swiftly promoted. Macartney founded the first ever arsenal in China at Nanking and was its director for ten years. He transferred to the diplomatic service, and for over thirty years was a lead negotiator in Anglo-Chinese affairs. He also organised the diplomatic representation of China at various European courts and became a Counsellor to the Chinese Embassy in London.

The Congo State

The Congo State

Demetrius Charles Boulger

Cambridge University Press
2012
pokkari
Written by the historian and biographer Demetrius C. Boulger (1853–1928), this history of early Belgian rule in the Congo was first published in 1898. The book documents nineteenth-century colonial activity after King Leopold II (1835–1909) assumed private control of the Congo Free State following the Berlin Conference in 1884. Exposed by the Casement Report of 1904, Leopold's controversial administration of the territory has become infamous for its exploitation of the local people and natural resources. Boulger's pro-Leopold account describes the Congolese population and environment, the presence and decline of the slave trade in the area, interaction with other European colonial powers, and the introduction of technologies such as the railway and telegraph. Including more than fifty illustrations, this book offers a fascinating insight into nineteenth-century colonial zeal.
