Publishers Newswire Announced Today its Latest List of Books to Bookmark, for Q4/2008
REDONDO BEACH, Calif. -- Publishers Newswire, an online resource for small publishers, as well as lesser known and first-time book authors, has announced its latest quarterly 'Books to Bookmark' list, for Q4/2008. This list is a round-up of new and interesting books which are often missed due to not originating from big name authors, or major New York book publishing houses.

Book, 'Letters From Heroes', captures triumphs of the men and women who served in World War I and II
GILROY, Calif. -- The hardships, struggles, hopes and triumphs of the men and women who served in World War I and World War II is wonderfully captured in 'Letters From Heroes' (ISBN: 978-1-58909-570-0), by Edward T. Cook, a new book just published by Bookstand Publishing. This poignant collection of real letters from real servicemen allow the reader to see things through the eyes of these soldiers and understand their thoughts about war, training, sickness, the enemy and even their food.

In New Book, Mystery of the 6,000 Year Old Science and Art of Astrology Has Been Solved
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. -- Author of the new book, ASTROMASKS (ISBN: 978-0-615-23386-4), Vijay Rishii Ph.D., announced today that his book reveals the secret code behind the ancient and controversial science of astrology. The author decodes astrology using a new concept of complementary pairs, and gives new meanings to the zodiac signs and their real connection to humans on earth, which has never been done before in the entire history of astrology.

[19] After leaving the army, Yule always used this sword when wearing
uniform.

[20] The Engineer cadets remained at Addiscombe a term (= 6 months) longer
than the Artillery cadets, and as the latter were ordinarily gazetted
full lieutenants six months after passing out, unfair seniority was
obviated by the Engineers receiving the same rank on passing out of
Addiscombe.

[22] Collinson's _Memoir of Yule_ in _R. E. Journal_.

[23] The picture was subscribed for by his brother officers in the corps,
and painted in 1880 by T. B. Wirgman. It was exhibited at the Royal
Academy in 1881. A reproduction of the artist's etching from it forms
the frontispiece of this volume.

[24] In _Memoir of Gen. John Becher_.

[25] General Patrick Yule (b. 1795, d. 1873) was a thorough soldier, with
the repute of being a rigid disciplinarian. He was a man of
distinguished presence, and great charm of manner to those whom he
liked, which were by no means all. The present writer holds him in
affectionate remembrance, and owes to early correspondence with him
much of the information embodied in preceding notes. He served on the
Canadian Boundary Commission of 1817, and on the Commission of
National Defence of 1859, was prominent in the Ordnance Survey, and
successively Commanding R.E. in Malta and Scotland. He was Engineer to
Sir C. Fellows' Expedition, which gave the nation the Lycian Marbles,
and while Commanding R.E. in Edinburgh, was largely instrumental in
rescuing St. Margaret's Chapel in the Castle from desecration and
oblivion. He was a thorough Scot, and never willingly tolerated the
designation N.B. on even a letter. He had cultivated tastes, and under
a somewhat austere exterior he had a most tender heart. When already
past sixty, he made a singularly happy marriage to a truly good woman,
who thoroughly appreciated him. He was the author of several Memoirs
on professional subjects. He rests in St. Andrew's, Gulane.

[28] Mr. (afterwards Sir) George Clerk, Political Officer with the
expedition. Was twice Governor of Bombay and once Governor of the
Cape: "A diplomatist of the true English stamp--undaunted in
difficulties and resolute to maintain the honour of his country." (Sir
H. B. Edwardes, _Life of Henry Lawrence_, i. 267). He died in 1889.

[29] Note by Yule, communicated by him to Mr. R. B. Smith and printed by
the latter in _Life of Lord Lawrence_.

[30] And when nearing his own end, it was to her that his thoughts turned
most constantly.

[33] On hearing this, Yule said to him, "Your story is quite correct
except in one particular; you understated the _amount_ of the fine."

[34] Yule and Maclagan's _Memoir of Baker_.

[35] It would appear that Major Yule had presented the Rodgers with some
specimens of Indian scissors, probably as suggestions in developing
that field of export. Scissors of elaborate design, usually damascened
or gilt, used to form a most important item in every set of Oriental
writing implements. Even long after adhesive envelopes had become
common in European Turkey, their use was considered over familiar, if
not actually disrespectful, for formal letters, and there was a
particular traditional knack in cutting and folding the special
envelope for each missive, which was included in the instruction given
by every competent _Khoja_ as the present writer well remembers in the
quiet years that ended with the disasters of 1877.

[36] Collinson's _Memoir of Yule, Royal Engineer Journal_.

[37] Extract from Preface to _Ava_, edition of 1858.

[38] The present whereabouts of this picture is unknown to the writer. It
was lent to Yule in 1889 by Lord Dalhousie's surviving daughter (for
whom he had strong regard and much sympathy), and was returned to her
early in 1890, but is not named in the catalogue of Lady Susan's
effects, sold at Edinburgh in 1898 after her death. At that sale the
present writer had the satisfaction of securing for reverent
preservation the watch used throughout his career by the great
Marquess.

[39] Now in the writer's possession. It was for many years on exhibition
in the Edinburgh and South Kensington Museums.

[40] Article by Yule on Lord Lawrence, _Quarterly Review_ for April, 1883.

[41] Messrs. Smith & Elder.

[42] Preface to _Narrative of a Mission to the Court of Ava_. Before these
words were written, Yule had had the sorrow of losing his elder
brother Robert, who had fallen in action before Delhi (19th June,
1857), whilst in command of his regiment, the 9th Lancers. Robert
Abercromby Yule (born 1817) was a very noble character and a fine
soldier. He had served with distinction in the campaigns in
Afghanistan and the Sikh Wars, and was the author of an excellent
brief treatise on Cavalry Tactics. He had a ready pencil and a happy
turn for graceful verse. In prose his charming little allegorical tale
for children, entitled _The White Rhododendron_, is as pure and
graceful as the flower whose name it bears. Like both his brothers, he
was at once chivalrous and devout, modest, impulsive, and impetuous.
No officer was more beloved by his men than Robert Yule, and when some
one met them carrying back his covered body from the field and
enquired of the sergeant: "Who have you got there?" the reply was:
"Colonel Yule, and better have lost half the regiment, sir." It was in
the chivalrous effort to extricate some exposed guns that he fell.
Some one told afterwards that when asked to go to the rescue, he
turned in the saddle, looked back wistfully on his regiment, well
knowing the cost of such an enterprise, then gave the order to advance
and charge. "No stone marks the spot where Yule went down, but no
stone is needed to commemorate his valour" (Archibald Forbes, in
_Daily News_, 8th Feb. 1876). At the time of his death Colonel R. A.
Yule had been recommended for the C.B. His eldest son, Colonel J. H.
Yule, C.B., distinguished himself in several recent campaigns (on the
Burma-Chinese frontier, in Tirah, and South Africa).

[43] Baker went home in November, 1857, but did not retire until the
following year.

[44] Nothing was more worthy of respect in Yule's fine character than the
energy and success with which he mastered his natural temperament in
the last ten years of his life, when few would have guessed his
original fiery disposition.

[45] Not without cause did Sir J. P. Grant officially record that "to his
imperturbable temper the Government of India owed much."

[46] Yule's colour-blindness was one of the cases in which Dalton, the
original investigator of this optical defect, took special interest.
At a later date (1859) he sent Yule, through Professor Wilson, skeins
of coloured silks to name. Yule's elder brother Robert had the same
peculiarity of sight, and it was also present in two earlier and two
later generations of their mother's family--making five generations in
all. But in no case did it pass from parent to child, always passing
in these examples, by a sort of Knight's move, from uncle to nephew.
Another peculiarity of Yule's more difficult to describe was the
instinctive association of certain architectural forms or images with
the days of the week. He once, and once only (in 1843), met another
person, a lady who was a perfect stranger, with the same peculiarity.
About 1878-79 he contributed some notes on this obscure subject to one
of the newspapers, in connection with the researches of Mr. Francis
Galton, on Visualisation, but the particulars are not now accessible.

[47] From Yule's verses on her grave.

[48] Lord Canning to Lady Clanricarde: Letter dated Barrackpoor, 19th Nov.
1861, 7 A.M., printed in _Two Noble Lives_, by A. J. C. Hare, and here
reproduced by Mr. Hare's permission.

[49] Lord Canning's letter to Lady Clanricarde. He gave to Yule Lady
Canning's own silver drinking-cup, which she had constantly used. It
is carefully treasured, with other Canning and Dalhousie relics, by
the present writer.

[50] Many years later Yule wrote of Lord Canning as follows: "He had his
defects, no doubt. He had not at first that entire grasp of the
situation that was wanted at such a time of crisis. But there is a
virtue which in these days seems unknown to Parliamentary statesmen in
England--Magnanimity. Lord Canning was an English statesman, and he
was surpassingly magnanimous. There is another virtue which in Holy
Writ is taken as the type and sum of all righteousness--Justice--and
he was eminently just. The misuse of special powers granted early in
the Mutiny called for Lord Canning's interference, and the consequence
was a flood of savage abuse; the violence and bitterness of which it
is now hard to realise." (_Quarterly Review_, April, 1883, p. 306.)

[51] During the next ten years Yule continued to visit London annually for
two or three months in the spring or early summer.

[52] Now in the writer's possession. They appear in the well-known
portrait of Lord Canning reading a despatch.

[53] Lord Canning's recommendation had been mislaid, and the India Office
was disposed to ignore it. It was Lord Canning's old friend and Eton
chum, Lord Granville, who obtained this tardy justice for Yule,
instigated thereto by that most faithful friend, Sir Roderick
Murchison.

[54] I cannot let the mention of this time of lonely sickness and trial
pass without recording here my deep gratitude to our dear and honoured
friend, John Ruskin. As my dear mother stood on the threshold between
life and death at Mornex that sad spring, he was untiring in all
kindly offices of friendship. It was her old friend, Principal A. J.
Scott (then eminent, now forgotten), who sent him to call. He came to
see us daily when possible, sometimes bringing MSS. of Rossetti and
others to read aloud (and who could equal his reading?), and when she
was too ill for this, or himself absent, he would send not only books
and flowers to brighten the bare rooms of the hillside inn (then very
primitive), but his own best treasures of Turner and W. Hunt, drawings
and illuminated missals. It was an anxious solace; and though most
gratefully enjoyed, these treasures were never long retained.

[55] Villa Mansi, nearly opposite the old Ducal Palace. With its private
chapel, it formed three sides of a small _place_ or court.

[56] He also at all times spared no pains to enforce that ideal on other
index-makers, who were not always grateful for his sound doctrine!

[57] He saw a good deal of the outbreak when taking small comforts to a
friend, the Commandent of the Military School, who was captured and
imprisioned by the insurgents.

[58] After 1869 he discontinued sea-bathing.

[59] This was Yule's first geographical honour, but he had been elected
into the Athenaeum Club, under "Rule II.," in January, 1867.

[60] Garnier took a distinguished part in the Defence of Paris in 1870-71,
after which he resumed his naval service in the East, where he was
killed in action. His last letter to Yule contained the simple
announcement "_J'ai pris Hanoi_" a modest terseness of statement
worthy of the best naval traditions.

[61] One year the present writer, at her mother's desire, induced him to
take walks of 10 to 12 miles with her, but interesting and lovely as
the scenery was, he soon wearied for his writing-table (even bringing
his work with him), and thus little permanent good was effected. And
it was just the same afterwards in Scotland, where an old Highland
gillie, describing his experience of the Yule brothers, said: "I was
liking to take out Sir George, for _he_ takes the time to enjoy the
hills, but (plaintively), the Kornel is no good, for he's just as
restless as a water-wagtail!" If there be any _mal de l'ecritoire_
corresponding to _mal du pays_, Yule certainly had it.

[62] The Russian Government in 1873 paid the same work the very practical
compliment of circulating it largely amongst their officers in Central
Asia.

[63] "Auch in den Literaturen von Frankreich, Italien, Deutschland und
andere Laendern ist der maechtig treibende Einfluss der Yuleschen
Methode, welche wissenschaftliche Grundlichkeit mit anmuthender Form
verbindet, bemerkbar." (_Verhandlungen der Gesellschaft fuer Erdkunde
zu
Berlin_, Band XVII. No. 2.)

[64] This subject is too lengthy for more than cursory allusion here, but
the patient analytic skill and keen venatic instinct with which Yule
not only proved the forgery of the alleged _Travels of Georg Ludwig
von ----_ (that had been already established by Lord Strangford, whose
last effort it was, and Sir Henry Rawlinson), but step by step traced
it home to the arch-culprit Klaproth, was nothing less than masterly.

[65] This is probably the origin of the odd misstatement as to Yule
occupying himself at Palermo with photography, made in the delightful
_Reminiscences_ of the late Colonel Balcarres Ramsay. Yule never
attempted photography after 1852.

[66] She was a woman of fine intellect and wide reading; a skilful
musician, who also sang well, and a good amateur artist in the style
of Aug. Delacroix (of whom she was a favourite pupil). Of French and
Italian she had a thorough and literary mastery, and how well she knew
her own language is shown by the sound and pure English of a story she
published in early life, under the pseudonym of Max Lyle (_Fair Oaks,
or The Experiences of Arnold Osborne, M.D._, 2 vols., 1856). My mother
was partly of Highland descent on both sides, and many of her fine
qualities were very characteristic of that race. Before her marriage
she took an active part in many good works, and herself originated the
useful School for the Blind at Bath, in a room which she hired with
her pocket-money, where she and her friend Miss Elwin taught such of
the blind poor as they could gather together.

In the tablet which he erected to her memory in the family
burial-place of St. Andrew's, Gulane, her husband described her
thus:--"A woman singular in endowments, in suffering, and in faith; to
whom to live was Christ, to die was gain."

[67] Mary Wilhelmina, daughter of F. Skipwith, Esq., B.C.S.

[68] Collinson's _Memoir of Yule_.

[69] See _Notes from a Diary_, 1888-91.

[70] The identification was not limited to Yule, for when travelling in
Russia many years ago, the present writer was introduced by an
absent-minded Russian _savant_ to his colleagues as _Mademoiselle
Marco Paulovna_!

[71] See Note on Sir George Yule's career at the end of this Memoir.

[72] Addressed to the Editor, _Royal Engineers' Journal_, who did not,
however, publish it.

[73] Debate of 27th August, 1889, as reported in _The Times_ of 28th
August.

[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. F. Y.
