[73] Debate of 27th August, 1889, as reported in The Times of 28th
    August.

[74] Yule had published a brief but very interesting Memoir of Major
    Rennell in the R.  E. Journal in 1881.  He was extremely proud of the
    circumstance that Rennell’s surviving grand-daughter presented to him
    a beautiful wax medallion portrait of the great geographer.  This
    wonderfully life-like presentment was bequeathed by Yule to his friend
    Sir Joseph Hooker, who presented it to the Royal Society.

[75] Knowing his veneration for that noble lady, I had written to tell her
    of his condition, and to ask her to give him this last pleasure of a
    few words.  The response was such as few but herself could write.  This
    letter was not to be found after my father’s death, and I can only
    conjecture that it must either have been given away by himself (which
    is most improbable), or was appropriated by some unauthorised
    outsider.

[76] So Sir M. E. Grant Duff well calls it.

[77] Academy, 19th March, 1890.

[78] He was much pleased, I remember, by a letter he once received from a
    kindly Franciscan friar, who wrote:  “You may rest assured that the
    Beato Odorico will not forget all you have done for him.”

[79] F.-M.  Lord Napier of Magdala, died 14th January, 1890.

[80] This notice includes the greater part of an article written by my
    father, and published in the St. James’ Gazette of 18th January,
    1886, but I have added other details from personal recollection and
    other sources.—­A.  F. Y.
