xiv Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. QFkb. 1844. 



to all the mass of research, and all the novelty of information of which evidence is 

 before us in his detached papers, we possess the most valuable of all his works, his 

 book on the literature and religion of the Boodhists, a work the most complete ex- 

 tant upon a subject till lately but little understood, and of the highest importance to 

 the Philologist and the Historian. But this is not all ; while engaged in the most 

 difficult and important official avocations he has found time also to enrich our 

 knowledge of Zoology by new observations on known animals, and a series of dis- 

 coveries of novel ones. But it is unnecessary for me to dilate on these subjects, as 

 all the particulars will be far better explained in the course of the evening by the 

 other Officers of the Society. I will only further observe, that the high reputation 

 which Mr. Hodgson has conferred on the Society, is not merely a local and an Indian 

 one. His name, widely spread with his discoveries among the Scientific Societies 

 of Europe, has carried with it corresponding credit to the Body, as a Member of 

 which he had laboured, and which ought therefore to testify their acknowledgments 

 in a mode creditable alike to their distinguished associate and to themselves. 



The Hon'ble the President then proposed. 



" That as a testimony of the high sense entertained by this Society of Mr. Hodgson's 

 scientific and literary labours, and also as a mark of personal regard, he be requested 

 to sit to some first-rate Artistforhis bust, to be placed in its Public Meeting Room." 



This motion was seconded by H. Torrens, Esq. V. P. and Secretary to the Socie- 

 ty, and carried unanimously, 



B. H. Hodgson, Esa.
