Excerpt from Second Supplement to the First Edition of the History of British Fishes
William yarrell was a man rather below the middle height, having a robust, well-knit frame, a sagacious and pleasing countenance, and frank and agreeable man ners. His aspect was that of a stout yeoman, such as those who in times past have contributed with head and hand to elevate their native England to its present rank among the nations; or rather his demeanour may be said to have indicated exactly what he was in fact - a citizen who had thriven in the greatest of commercial cities, but who, strong in native honesty and self-respect, had passed un scathed through the perils of money-making, his cheerful countenance bearing no lines traced by the thirst of gain or the debasing passion for hoarding: on the contrary, his mild but fearless eye, and his open forehead, showed, even to a stranger, a man at peace with himself and with his fellow men.
