Excerpt from In Memoriam, Edward Yorke Macauley, Rear Admiral U. S. N, Vol. 34: Read Before the American Philosophical Society, September 6, 1895 The cartoons are made with great accuracy and uniformity, and in fact the production of such a work by process printing could only have been possible where great industry and artistic skill together with Oriental knowledge were found conjoined in one individual. In European capitals much of the drudgery of this kind of work is saved by the employment of fonts of hieroglyphic type, but up to the time of the appearance of this book there was not a single such font in the United States. He had projected other similar works of value, some of which were partly commenced, others merely outlined at the time of his death. He added thus late in life to his many linguistic conquests that of Vol apuk, which many believed would ultimately become the universal lan guage. He wrote, read and spoke this now neglected creation with facility. In 1892, Hobart College honored him with the degree of LL.D., honoris causa.
