Is this the proper name/title for the article, or should it be simply William Pitt Amherst? --zandperl 20:46, 29 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- For all peers of the realm the proper title would include the peerage, so yes, William Pitt Amherst, 1st Earl Amherst is correct. Mackensen 20:50, 29 Jan 2004 (UTC)
[edit] This note
NB.Amherst WAS allowed to enter Peking, having been rush there overnight. But on grounds of illness- in reality he hadn't had time to prepare nor did he even have his official clothes with him since his luggage lagged behind him, he rejected the emperor's call to appear. Instead of being granted another opportunity to appear before the emperor he was dismissed and didn't see the emperor.(See Tuck, Patrick Britain and the China Trade 1635-1842, Volume 10, Notes of Proceedings and Occurrences During the British Embassy to Pekin in 1816 George Thomas Staunton, Routledge, 2000 (First pub. 1824))
The above needs to be rephrased in any case, but is this true? Wally 06:46, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
