Excerpt from L'Oeuvre Africaine du Roi Léopold II, Vol. 4: Conserverons-Nous Notre Colonie? Comment, pour la Garder, Devons-Nous la Diriger?; Conférence Donnée à la Société Royale de Géographie d'Anvers le Samedi 9 Février 1912
J'ai nommé Jules Urban et Adolphe de Roubaix. Plusieurs d'entre vous se rappellent sans doute leurs physionomies si personnelles: celle d'urban, semblable à la face d'un vieux lion, toute en énergie à première vue, en réa lité douce, presque caressante, pour ceux qui savent découvrir le langage du coeur dans le regard des yeux; celle de De Roubaix, toute en bonté épanouie, dans laquelle l'observateur attentif découvrait vite la finesse et l'origina lité, indiquées par le masque qui ressemblait, à s'y méprendre, à celui de Coquelin aîné, ce dont, d'ailleurs, il était très fier.
