Henry Yule
Sir Henry Yule KCSI (1 May 1820 – 30 December 1889) was a Scottish Orientalist. He published many travel books including translations of the work of Marco Polo and ''Mirabilia'' by the 14th century Dominican Friar Jordanus. He was also the compiler of a dictionary of Anglo-Indian terms, the ''Hobson-Jobson'', along with Arthur Coke Burnell.
==Early life==
Henry was born at Inveresk, Scotland, near Edinburgh and was the youngest son of Major William Yule (1764–1839), translator of the ''Apothegms of Ali the son of Abu Talib''. The Yules were farmers at Dirleton in East Lothian and the name may be of Scandinavian origin. Henry's mother was Elizabeth Paterson (d. c. 1827) of Braehead in Ayrshire. An older brother was (later Sir) George Udny Yule (1813–1886) who was father of the statistician Udny Yule (1871–1951). Another brother, Robert (1817–1857), died in the Indian Rebellion of 1857 in Delhi.
Henry Yule was educated at the university in Edinburgh, and later studied under Henry Parr Hamilton and James Challis. His fellow students were John Mason Neale and Harvey Goodwin. After a brief period at University College London, Yule entered Addiscombe Military Seminary (1837–8), followed by the Royal Engineers Establishment at Chatham, Kent. He obtained his commission in December 1838, and joined the Bengal Engineers in 1840.
