[40] Article by Yule on Lord Lawrence, Quarterly Review for April, 1883.

[41] Messrs. Smith & Elder.

[42] Preface to Narrative of a Mission to the Court of Ava.  Before these
    words were written, Yule had had the sorrow of losing his elder
    brother Robert, who had fallen in action before Delhi (19th June,
    1857), whilst in command of his regiment, the 9th Lancers.  Robert
    Abercromby Yule (born 1817) was a very noble character and a fine
    soldier.  He had served with distinction in the campaigns in
    Afghanistan and the Sikh Wars, and was the author of an excellent
    brief treatise on Cavalry Tactics.  He had a ready pencil and a happy
    turn for graceful verse.  In prose his charming little allegorical tale
    for children, entitled The White Rhododendron, is as pure and
    graceful as the flower whose name it bears.  Like both his brothers, he
    was at once chivalrous and devout, modest, impulsive, and impetuous. 
    No officer was more beloved by his men than Robert Yule, and when some
    one met them carrying back his covered body from the field and
    enquired of the sergeant:  “Who have you got there?” the reply was: 
    “Colonel Yule, and better have lost half the regiment, sir.”  It was in
    the chivalrous effort to extricate some exposed guns that he fell. 
    Some one told afterwards that when asked to go to the rescue, he
    turned in the saddle, looked back wistfully on his regiment, well
    knowing the cost of such an enterprise, then gave the order to advance
    and charge.  “No stone marks the spot where Yule went down, but no
    stone is needed to commemorate his valour” (Archibald Forbes, in
    Daily News, 8th Feb. 1876).  At the time of his death Colonel R. A.
    Yule had been recommended for the C.B.  His eldest son, Colonel J. H.
    Yule, C.B., distinguished himself in several recent campaigns (on the
    Burma-Chinese frontier, in Tirah, and South Africa).

[43] Baker went home in November, 1857, but did not retire until the
    following year.

[44] Nothing was more worthy of respect in Yule’s fine character than the
    energy and success with which he mastered his natural temperament in
    the last ten years of his life, when few would have guessed his
    original fiery disposition.

[45] Not without cause did Sir J. P. Grant officially record that “to his
    imperturbable temper the Government of India owed much.”
