1882.] Library. S3 



The Hon'ble H. J. Ketnolds said : Sir Ashley Eden,— On behalf 

 of the members who are here to-night — and I am sure I may also 

 speak for those who are absent — I desire to express our regret at 

 the approaching severance of your connection with the Society, and 

 at the same time our satisfaction at your appointment by Her Majesty 

 to the responsible post of a Member of the Council of India. We all 

 feel, Sir, that that Presidential Chair, in which you have had so many 

 illustrious predecessors, has seldom, if ever, been more worthily occupied 

 than by the successful administrator whose name will long be memorable 

 for much good work done for the progress and developement of the 

 Province of Bengal. In the name of the Asiatic Society, I beg to tend&r 

 you the cordial good wishes of us all.
