About the author

Ethel Gwendoline Vincent was a British travel writer active in the late 19th century. The sources found for her books credit her as Lady Ethel Gwendoline Vincent and also as Mrs. Howard Vincent, suggesting she published under more than one form of her name.

Her known works include Forty Thousand Miles Over Land and Water: The Journal of a Tour Through the British Empire and America, China to Peru, over the Andes: A Journey Through South America, and Newfoundland to Cochin China. These books present her as a writer of ambitious travel narratives, following journeys through North and South America as well as parts of Asia.

Reliable biographical detail beyond her authorship is limited in the material I could confirm here, so I have kept this overview focused on her published travel writing rather than uncertain personal facts.
