Blue cloth covered boards are severely discoloured some light scattered foxing mainly to the upper margins and edges still a good firm copy of a scarce title.18.5 x 12cm. "Mrs Gull Mrs. Bulstrode as she then was had the fortune not to mention the pluck to be in Urga at a time when history was being made for Mongolia. I well remember the perturbation in British official circles in Peking when this adventurous lady at a time when the Chinese were fighting the Mongols sought a passport to take her through the opposing lines and so to the desired destination. Needless to say the passport was not forthcoming whereupon Mrs. Gull without papers went off by herself and succeeded in making a considerable journey which brought her perilously close to the unsettled region in which guerilla warfare was proceeding. <br> <br>Her experiences in Inner Mongolia made it plain that getting through to Urga meant a detour so long expensive and risky as not to be worth while. Accordingly she and her sporting companion Mr. E. M. Gull a fire-eater in the pursuit of political developments went round the back way by train and reached Urga from Siberia no small adventure considering the state of Mongolia at the time. What they saw Mrs. Gull describes in her own taking manner and I need not say more about her book than that it is full of enlightenment as regards the character of both people and country."

He was born aboard a barge his father was a barge owner and began his career as a schoolmaster. However through the intercession of a friend and mentor he was brought to London where he attended lectures at Guy's Hospital. His career advanced rapidly and in 1851 he became an assistant physician and in 1856 a full physician of the hospital. In 1869 he was made a Fellow of the Royal Society and he was created a baronet in 1872. His fame rests mainly on his clinical work although he published papers on cholera rheumatic fever and paraplegia. Some recent commentators suspect that he may have been 'Jack the Ripper' although at the time of the murders he was in his 70s and had suffered a stroke.
