peditions to the West Highlands, the Lakes of Cumberland, and
elsewhere. Major Yule chose his boys to have every reasonable
indulgence and advantage, and when the British Association, in
1834, held its first Edinburgh meeting, Henry received a mem-
ber's ticket. So, too, when the passing of the Reform Bill was
celebrated in the same year by a great banquet, at which Lord
Grey and other prominent politicians were present, Henry was
sent to the dinner, probably the youngest guest there.'4
At this time the intention was that Henry should go to
Cambridge (where his name was, indeed, entered), and after
taking his degree study for the Bar. With this view he was, in
1833, sent to Waith, near Ripon, to be coached by the Rev.
H. P. Hamilton, author of a well-known treatise, On Conic
Sections, and afterwards Dean of Salisbury. At his tutor's
hospitable rectory Yule met many notabilities of the day. One
of them was Professor Sedgwick.
There was rumoured at this time the discovery of the first
known (?) fossil monkey, but its tail was missing. " Depend
upon it, Daniel O'Conell's got hold of it ! " said ` Adam ' briskly.15
Yule was very happy with Mr. Hamilton and his kind wife, but
on his tutor's removal to Cambridge other arrangements became
necessary, and in 183 5 he was transferred to the care of the Rev.
James Challis, rector of Papworth St. Everard, a place which
had little to recommend it except a dulness which made
reading almost a necessity." 16 Mr. Challis had at this time two
other resident pupils, who both, in most diverse ways, attained
distinction in the Church. These were John Mason Neale, the
future eminent ecclesiologist and founder of the devoted Angli-
can Sisterhood of St. Margaret, and Harvey Goodwin, long
afterwards the studious and large-minded Bishop of Carlisle.
With the latter, Yule remained on terms of cordial friendship to
the end of his life. Looking back through more than fifty years
to these boyish days, Bishop Goodwin wrote that Yule then
" showed much more liking for Greek plays and for German
than for mathematics, though he had considerable geometrical
