PREFACE TO THIRD EDITION
our " mutual friend," in which Yule had taken the
greatest interest, was dedicated by me to his memory. I knew that Yule contemplated a third edition of his
Marco Polo, and all will regret that time was not
allowed to him to complete this labour of love, to see
itp ublished. If the duty of bringing out the new
edition of Marco Polo has fallen on one who considers
himself but an unworthy successor of the first illustrious
commentator, it is fair to add that the work could not
have been entrusted to a more respectful disciple.
Many of our tastes were similar ; we had the same
desire to seek the truth, the same earnest wish to
be exact, perhaps the same sense of humour, and,
what is necessary when writing on Marco Polo,
certainly the same love for Venice and its history.
Not only am I, with the late CHARLES SCHEFER, the
founder and the editor of the Recueil de Voyages et de
Documents pour servir á l'Histoire de la Géograylzie
depuis le XIII e jatsqu'( la fin du X VI e siècle, but I
am also the successor, at thé Ecole des langues
Orientales Vivantes, of G. PAUTHIER, whose book on
the Venetian Traveller° is still valuable, so the mantle
of the last two editors fell upon my shoulders.
I therefore, gladly and thankfully, accepted Miss
AMY FRANCES YULE'S kind proposal to undertake the
editorship of the third edition of the Book of Ser Marco
Polo, and I wish to express here my gratitude to her
for the great honour she has thus done me.*
Unfortunately for his successor, Sir Henry
Yule, evidently trusting to his own rood memory,
b
left but few notes. These are contained in an inter-
leaved copy obligingly placed at my disposal osal b Miss
p by
Yule, but I luckily found assistance from various other
* Miss Yule has written the Memoir of her father and the new Dedication.
