With this view Mr. Lustituorou rose and requested the attention of Whose around hull to a few an, d. he WAS desirous of addressing co them, pref..toty to .4 tt:a he was r.ure they would all heattily concur with Lim in thinking. Before he left Erglata, a deputation of the Royal .

From pai.ers which have since been sent out by a Committee 0144 Rossi Society, he imagined that they WO in sonic measure limited their original views. or at all everts that they conceive realer nut nines: mi,•ht be attained by the lot !nation in the fist instance e.f a Society at Madras to correspond with their own Committee of Translation for this purpose they had r.quested him to unite with the President of the Madras Literary S.viety in selectirs from tha' Society and the body of the different Services, such persons as are most likely to give vtfectual aid in furthering the important objects they Lave in view.— The objects to which they wish the atteini in of the yew Society to be chiefly directed, are the ttatiil ti ns of lam ks in the Arabic, Syriac, and Persian largi:4ges, which Above ell may tend to tlunw lig , t t e Ot I- Hebiew test of the Holy Scriptures, whi.ll mad supply the breaks in the connection ln t ten the ll' . tory, Ails, and Sciences of Asia and E rope, and of . . treatises existing in those langu iges, which it is hoped may resfote many mail sled pisssges in the Grecian Authors, and in tome ca•cs add to our stock d kuow le..ge the wa►ks of Greek Auth•lrs, the existence .of which has me e 4 been coo:l.:Tune& Tile Royal A•iatic S •ciety, Irm e% cr. do n.. 1 A 1,11 these I 'boors to be rm si to the Nock of transiatinn—t'•ey 1160 h>>ld out high encouragement for the composition of orii,inal essays, illustra iie Cl the his•ory and manners ot the inttives inhabiting the Peu,nsula, the s , uth ot India, and the "Eastei n A•chipelago. Such being the object of this Society, it was obvious, that whoever was to be P:esi tient of it, might to be a person well skilled in the Oti ru al lairguages. In inking round him fora person posses ed ot this qualificatii , n, they would not be rip. poised that his own choice should have rested upon th, • Venerable Archdeacon, whose attainments in the lan guoges ot the Last are only eci .ol.ed by the lame of ..is great talents anJ extra-rdinary acquirements in the ancient and mo2trit lite, ature of E•liope. Atter is uch diffidence and reluct• ice on the pa t of the Archdeacon, Mr. LuaulsoroN wes happy to say, that he had persuaded hint to accept the office I f Plea silent, and he felt that the f undaticn of this Institution was well laid in this choice, and was confident that the Archdeacon's consent would be hailed with the most corotal satisfaction. Having seemed so aJmiratie • Presittr n.. the next tit ng to he done was io protu•e a se r tar y, in whom sh uld he.united a portion of the sons* knowledge of Oriental languages, the same ardent love of knowledge and zeal for its promotion, and (what , would mike him ot the greatest use to the Society) who should possess a degree of influence from his con-, fidental intercourse with the Government that slit uld ensure the promotion of all such portions of the So. ciety designs as may depend upon the due assistameof the Government. The Venerable the Archdeacon hawing been pleased to express his concurrence in the nomination and qualifications of his (Mr. Lushiligton's) son, he hoped he should be forgiven for saying that he would not have proposed it to a person so nearly con nected with himself, if he had not known Oat he pos sines till the qualities necessary for the useful execution of the duties if the office. Having thus provided a President and Secretary, he hoped he might look to the assi•tance of the Honour able•President of the Literary Society in the selection of fit petit:mit* the Committee of Papers, and in con. tributtsig to promote all the other useful objects of this Institution. It only remained for him to assure them that it would be his own pride to give all the aid in his power, either by advice or by any p , cnniary contribu tion which his own means might enable hint to supply, • .for the promotion of the highly interesting and impors tent purposes of the Association. Imperfectly as be had thus explained the objects of the Society at Lome, it would be very unreasonable to ask any -person to be Conrail member until he should have had time to con sider and to Understood the subject better, and to !M. die that option which every Englishman loves.

At all tinsel, and under all clicon:s...nce I must have felt this; hut it is much inc•eased on the present occasion, by the iecellection of the s'sort time that has elapsed since my arrival, that ram compara iietly a stranger to many whom I have the honour of .ddressing, and above all by the conviction (which is most unfeigned and sincere) of my inieequacy to fill the office you have assigned to . me. M .ny of clime whom I see mould me are more competent to its duties, and I should be consulting more the fame of the infant Institution, and mushily my own repo. -anon, which must suffer in so prominent a post, if sh , unk altogether from the honour you intend me. Yet I feel it impossible to c'ecli' e the e nice when ears caUed on, and it is only left me to assure you of my aoziety to meet its duties to my best ability. I yie:d Certainly to no one in appreciation rf the objects pro , sod ro us, and in ardent desire far their promoti..n.-- They are such as not cnly to promise great and benefi- Chit results to India and our own cotitory,but they unite all that is admirable and just in the learning of Europe, sleith all that is curious and interesting in the reearct.es of the East ; and while they lead us to Mew field, of anvil y, revive cur rectalection of those early inisges of classical beauty which formed the delight of our boyish days. It an be our duty to trace not only the es-moat history of Eastern Natives, but the growth of their civil and religious institutions, their internal ar rangements and mutual connection—in a word. the Philosophy of Nations. it wi Ibe our duty to explore the treasures that may be set undiscovered, of Ar .bian science either um:lWe I re original, and to extend our researches to the Natural Ili:tory of the Rninsula, and especially to the Geoloy yOl this vast range. It will be our duty to add still further light to a subject—after all the labours of our predecessors by no means exhau s ed— the Mythology Indi o, and to tr,ce the analogy,which every new tilqiiiry makes mote stiiking, betwreti the tailed De ties of L.dia and Greece. In no part of India is this 'coincidence mote conepicucus than in the South, and it is here perlial s that the great charm and interest of th 4 Institution will be faun.' for the mind :umber with classic recollection. There are a thousand points of resemblance whith must often have acetified to your mind, w Lich cart d you back to other scenes and other days, whose memory may slumber. het cag ier trey obliterated Ird m the mind—tothe Po, GAece and Rome, and to that beantiitil machinery which, however false, still keeps its hold on our love and admiration— to those images of i !cal beauty, tl.ose airy nothings, which floSed through out you' g imaginations, Ike ' , he wreath of a morning cloud, and tor sited the dr#pery of ur minds in tidy youth, .and gave their. Corns and colour to our Minuses years. 114 could not -taaterse the 'ileitis of Scutlsein India without recalling st every step the 01 ) mpus of Homer, and in all I saw air:uild me, I was reminded of the very :tanners in I habits of his active and conflicting (todi.. 1 aposeialhed a temple, and, from the few avendant Piiests, Vinquired where were the irderi , :r ce , jicts of wnship, and was info rmed . that they •had de p tried -some days before on a• visit of 'Cele/limey . • t some neigi bouring or distant shrine. I eked for the chief Idol, to whose hunit.ir the temple was eedicated— his shrine was empty ; he had gone to feast ith some ft iendly or rival Pow er in all the poop and pageantry of his shadowy greatness; or perhaps .he 'acted litter was prepared, the car was harnessed, or (still more to •how the life and action cf the system) the stancimaiy itelf was yoked t • its gigantic horses, as if ready to hear is with all its regal sFlend..ur to s me other ie,;inn of power and worship. How could I see this and not rev, rt to the elder days of Greta!' fable, end se. m to hear again the well known answer of Thetis to her sorrowing son, that Jupiter with his at. tendatit Gods was gone to tie shores of the Ocean to a .nquet with the Ethiopians ? Many such instances, Geetlen e , have doubtless occurred to your own ob sei 'satiny, and here canted you bock to the similar, but •ntiiistely in se heantitul theology of Greece and Rowe. Mese - paths it will be our duty to ex . I ,re, and you will tower ore. Sit, f r saying. th it in this con. ection of present objects with ally studies, I discover the reason if 1114 kindness which would assign me so h. uonrahle a c ost. From the moment you did me the Setneur of I ,r• posing it, I teasel ed in vain for some n raise that amid 11.se influenced you, till I remembered that' I had tl e happiness of drawing my first elements oaf classical knowledge, and whatever slime of taste in such pursuits I have evti fir, from the same source with yourself aid my Learned Ft lend opposite (Sir George Ricketts) who ad.-ins the lit ofession if which he is so distinguished a member. You Tel- naturally wished to snake your own recol'ectionsst 11 strongei, by placing satoglrrin ro the Chair r and where stronger reasons were manliest* wanting, you yielded to that filial svachment to our common parent, which however strong in our natise country, appeals m. re pow eifuly to the heart in our Eastern banishment, septet eted vs we now are by such intervals of time and space from her mirernal bosom. In the field you have opened to • us, India has already produced great and splendid names to stimulate our esti-dons and animate our hopes ; one especially, whose name should never be pissed over in silence on an oc casion like the present, end who can never be men tioned without his due awed of praise and admiration— I mean Sir Wm. Jones. No man ever brought to this country so large a share of native genius and European taste, united with so much devoted interest to all literary pursuits. No man ever traversed so wide a field of learn ing, or amassed such a varied store of knowledge, and who was b 0 capable of adorning whatever he attempted. There was no point of learning, of :deuce, or of art. which h: touc:.ed, but he attracted to it the admiration of others also, by theharades., but electric file which his genius had shed around it.. 1 confess I cannot hear that the hand of rude., though.more learned criticism, should detract at all from his high pod wel'senned re putation, or tear one leaf of that laurel which India and Europe have alike conspired to place upon his htol6/..
