Excerpt from Life of Brian Houghton Hodgson, British Resident at the Court of Nepal, Member of the Institute of France: Fellow of the Royal Society; A Vice-President of the Royal Asiatic Society, Etc Rian hodgson died in 1894, in his ninety-fifth year. Had he died seventy years previously, he would have been mourned as the most brilliant young scholar whom the Indian Civil Service has produced. Had he died in middle life, he would have been remem bered as the masterly diplomatist who held quiet the kingdom of Nepal and the warlike Himalayan races throughout the disasters of the Afghan war. Had he died at three-score years of age, he would have been honoured as the munificent Englishman who enriched the museums of Europe with his collections, enlarged the old boundaries of more than one science, and opened up a new field of original research.
