I can also see the groundworks being laid for the much later big British/Russian bust-up in the Crimea. Also I agree with you on the "past" ridiculousness. But in general, this sounds like an interesting look at yet another aspect of the era, and Whitworth could certainly hold his own among the other envoys of the 18th century in terms of will power and much put upon-ness.
