Yule was the pre-Christian germanic Midwinter celebration, and is today one of the eight solar holidays or sabbatss of Neopaganism.
In modern neopaganism Yule is celebrated on the winter solstice, in the northern hemisphere circa December 21 and in the southern hemisphere circa June 21.
Yule is a revival of a Germanic festival that was Christianized as Christmas; indeed, many traditional trappings of Christmas, such as the Yule Log, holly, and the Christmas tree are derived from pre-Christian Yule celebrations.

 Yule biography
The Yule family had a strong reputation for scholarship, with the grandfather of the George Udny Yule of this biography, William Yule, being a renowned scholar in Persian and Arabic.
Yule returned from Germany to London in the summer of 1893 and was offered a post as a demonstrator in University College, London, by Karl Pearson.
Yule did not develop any completely new branches of statistical theory but he took the first steps in many areas which proved important in their further development by later statisticians.

 Idiocentrism
Henry Yule's four volumes on Marco Polo and the other European travellers to the East are among my favorite scholarly books, so even though I have no particular interest in Anglo-India, when I found out that Hobson-Jobson was cheap and available, I snapped it up.
Yule (supported by the OED 1st ed.) claims that Druggerman (dragoman), a word in many Middle Eastern and European languages meaning "translator", can be traced back to Assyrian.
And Yule speculates, as I have, that the similiarities in name and form between the Mediterranian Turkish caique and the Inuit kayak, might mean that there is a real historical relationship between the two boats.

Mitch is the son of WPIX former general manager and creator of the Yule Log, Fred Thrower.
He was kind enough to provide me with a copy of the videotaped segment "A Christmas Message" which I had been searching for.
He may have never known the appeal of the Yule Log but he always made sure we had a TV to watch it - not to mention plenty of presents, food, clothes and a roof over our heads every Christmas morning and for that, I'll always love him.

 The Hindu : Hobson-Jobson's choice
Originally compiled by Henry Yule and A.C. Burnell, this Angle-Indian dictionary was first published in 1886 but is actually the product of many years labour when the authors collected and classified what have been termed `curiosities'.
The origin of the Hobson-Jobson is traced to a correspondence between Yule at Palermon and Arthur Burnell of the Madras Civil Service who was with the judiciary at Tanjore and other places in India.
Several like-minded friends and associates supplemented Yule's efforts and finally the compilation was published with the attractive title Hobson-Jobson that was an expression peculiar to British soldiers in India.

 Desultor » Hobson Jobson
Yule was a knight, a soldier in the Sikh wars, a translator and a civil servant in India.
A certain percentage of such words have been carried to England by the constant reflux to their native shore of Anglo-Indians, who in some degree imbue with their notions and phraseology the circles from which they had gone forth.
Yule’s wide-ranging curiosity (and his blasted Victorian ability to read more than I will ever be able to) led him somewhat astray from that goal:

 Peppered Words - December 15, 2004 - The New York Sun
A dictionary that exemplifies this tendency, and one of my own all-time favorites, is Henry Yule and A. Burrells's "Hobson-Jobson: The Anglo-Indian Dictionary." This eccentric work used to be hard to find and quite expensive but is now available in a ridiculously cheap British paperback (Wordsworth Reference, 1,021 pages, L2.99) and in several variations online.
Burrell and Yule were both voracious readers and both had solid backgrounds in Greek and Latin, as well as in Hebrew and several Indian languages, and so were able to festoon their entries with learned - and often rather weird - citations from a huge panoply of original sources.
For all the class-consciousness and snobbery of the British in India, not to mention the rigid caste-distinctions of Hindus, and others, words were no respecters of boundaries but intermingled, forged liaisons, staged torrid trysts, and ended up in marriages, both of love and of convenience.

 CPAmedia.com: The Flexible Bamboo
What impressed these early European travellers was not just the ubiquitous nature of bamboos in the tropics--they seemed to be everywhere--but the extraordinary range of uses to which they were put.
Many writers comment on this, but none, perhaps, as concisely as Sir Henry Yule, who led a British mission to the court of King Mindon of Burma in 1855.
When I speak of bamboo huts, I mean to say that post and walls, wall-plates and rafters, floor and thatch and the withes that bind them, are all of bamboo.
