letter.  He had cultivated tastes, and under
    a somewhat austere exterior he had a most tender heart.  When already
    past sixty, he made a singularly happy marriage to a truly good woman,
    who thoroughly appreciated him.  He was the author of several Memoirs
    on professional subjects.  He rests in St. Andrew’s, Gulane.

[28] Mr. (afterwards Sir) George Clerk, Political Officer with the
    expedition.  Was twice Governor of Bombay and once Governor of the
    Cape:  “A diplomatist of the true English stamp—­undaunted in
    difficulties and resolute to maintain the honour of his country.” (Sir
    H. B. Edwardes, Life of Henry Lawrence, i. 267).  He died in 1889.

[33] On hearing this, Yule said to him, “Your story is quite correct
     except in one particular; you understated the amount of the fine.”

[35] It would appear that Major Yule had presented the Rodgers with some
    specimens of Indian scissors, probably as suggestions in developing
    that field of export.  Scissors of elaborate design, usually damascened
    or gilt, used to form a most important item in every set of Oriental
    writing implements.  Even long after adhesive envelopes had become
    common in European Turkey, their use was considered over familiar, if
    not actually disrespectful, for formal letters, and there was a
    particular traditional knack in cutting and folding the special
    envelope for each missive, which was included in the instruction given
    by every competent Khoja as the present writer well remembers in the
    quiet years that ended with the disasters of 1877.

[38] The present whereabouts of this picture is unknown to the writer.  It
    was lent to Yule in 1889 by Lord Dalhousie’s surviving daughter (for
    whom he had strong regard and much sympathy), and was returned to her
    early in 1890, but is not named in the catalogue of Lady Susan’s
    effects, sold at Edinburgh in 1898 after her death.  At that sale the
    present writer had the satisfaction of securing for reverent
    preservation the watch used throughout his career by the great
    Marquess.
