Published in 1844, this extraordinary book contains the diaries of Robert Gully and Captain Denham, the Commander of the merchant vessel Ann, who were imprisoned in China in 1842, and notes exchanged between them. Gully was murdered, but Denham survived: the book contradicts the official Chinese account of the incident.
