[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.
