ISO Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [July, 



As the hour was late, the chairman would now put to the vote the 

 several amendments which had been handed to him. Mr. Campbell 

 had, with the permission of the meeting, withdrawn his original motion, 

 and had adopted the amended form of resolution proposed by Dr. 

 Anderson. He would now read the latter to the meeting. 



" That while the members of this Society regret that they feel 

 themselves precluded from expressing an opinion on the purely edu- 

 cational matters on which Sir D. Macleod has done them the honor to 

 consult them, they would venture to express the opinion that it is not 

 desirable to discourage the general use of scientific terms, for which 

 equivalents are not found in the vernacular languages." 



To this the Rev. Mr. Banerjea proposed to add as a rider : — " or the 

 classical languages from which they are derived ;" and the following 

 amendment had been handed to him by Babu Rajendra Lala Mitra ; — 



" That all terms intended to denote attributes should be invariably 

 translated and adopted ; but simple names of things may be taken 

 from the languages of Europe, if their equivalents be not found in 

 those of India." 



The amendment and rider having been put to the meeting and nega- 

 tived by shew of hands, Dr. Anderson's resolution was submitted to 

 vote, when there appeared — 



For the resolution : Against it :
