What key details about george baldwin -lrb- diplomat -rrb- can be extracted from the following bio? Bio: george baldwin was a british merchant , writer and diplomat of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries whose career was principally based in egypt , where he established valuable trade links for the east india company and negotiated directly with the ottoman governors . despite repeated warnings of the importance of egypt to links with british india , his advice was ignored and thus when napoleon bonaparte invaded egypt in 1798 the british were ill-placed to respond directly . in 1801 he assisted the british counter-invasion of egypt and later returned to britain with his wife jane maltass , a famous society beauty . although a highly successful merchant and diplomat , baldwin found himself a subject of ridicule on his return to britain for his belief in the healing power of magnets , then widely considered a pseudoscience . he retired to earl 's court in london and died there in 1826 .
