that his loss is so deeply felt and regretted, and his services acknowledged in so very 

 strong terms by those who form a Society which, in point of importance, value and 

 respectability, is the first in the country, and with whom he laboured hand in hand to 

 promote its object for many many years. Fully aware as we are of the painful feeling 

 which this mournful event must have excited in the minds of his late colleagues in the 

 Society, and feeling proud of such a participation, on their part, in the grief we have 

 experienced on account of it, we cannot but be gratified by the conviction which 

 your letter so forcibly conveys to our mind, that his services to the Society and his 

 good qualities had so much endeared him to them, and been conducive to the interest 

 of the institution to such a degree; and in conclusion, we beg to express our feelings 

 of gratitude to them for so valuable a record of the opinion of his career, as well as of 

 his talent and public and private virtues generally, a record which we shall always 

 preserve in the family with pride and pleasure, and to remain, 



Dear Sir, 

 Your most faithful and humble servant,

 been built over the grave of Mr. Csoma de Koros, and requesting that a 

 marble slab might be sent up with an inscription for insertion in the space 

 left for it. An elevation of the monument accompanied the letter. The

My dear Torrens,— I got up the other day one of the Society's Sanscrit Works, 

 the " Naishada Kabya," 1 vol. price 6 Ks. for a native here, who says that it is incom- 

 plete, being only half of the original. Can you tell me whether there is another 

 volume also printed, completing the work, and if there is, would you kindly send it 

 me per dak bhangy, or make it over to my agents, Gunter and Greenaway, who will 



pay the expences. 



G. T. Lushington. 



After some conversation it was ordered, that the subject of the printing of 

 the second volume of the Naishada be referred to the committee of Papers 

 for report.
