NOTE BY MISS YU LE
ti
I DESIRE to take this opportunity of recording my grateful
sense of the unsparing labour, learning, and devotion, with
which my father's valued friend, Professor Henri Cordier, has
performed the difficult and delicate task which I entrusted to
his loyal friendship.
Apart from Professor Cordier's very special qualifications for
the work, I feel sure that no other Editor could have been more
entirely acceptable to my father. I can give him no higher
praise than to say that he has laboured in Yule's own spirit.
The slight Memoir which I have contributed (for which I
accept all responsibility), attempts no more than a rough sketch
of my father's character and career, but it will, I hope, serve
to recall pleasantly his remarkable individuality to the few
remaining who knew him in his prime, whilst it may also afford
some idea of the man, and his work and environment, to those
who had not that advantage.
