[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.
