NOTE BY MISS YULE

No one can be more conscious than myself of its many

shortcomings, which I will not attempt to excuse. I can,

however, honestly say that these have not been due to

negligence, but are rather the blemishes almost inseparable

from the fulfilment under the gloom of bereavement and amidst

the pressure of other duties, of a task undertaken in more

favourable circumstances.

Nevertheless, in spite of all defects, I believe this sketch

to be such a record as my father would himself have approved,

and I know also that he would have chosen my hand to

write it.

In conclusion, I may note that the first edition of this

work was dedicated to that very noble lady, the Queen (then

Crown Princess) Margherita of Italy. In the second edition the

Dedication was reproduced within brackets (as also the original

preface), but not renewed. That precedent is again followed.

I have, therefore, felt at liberty to associate the present

edition of my father's work with the Name MURCHISON,

which for more than a generation was the name most generally

representative of British Science in Foreign Lands, as of

Foreign Science in Britain.
