page lxx note * In consequence of the enlightened patronage which this prince, himself the élevé of the celebrated missionary Schwartz, has always given to the arts of Europe, particularly to that of sculpture, Sir Alexander Johnston, who, while he was at Tanjore, had an opportunity of knowing his sentiments upon the subject, sent him out, at the same time with his diploma of Honorary Member of the Royal Asiatic Society, as a mark of respect from his relative, the Hon. Mrs. Damer, a colossal bust, executed by herself in bronze, of the late Lord Nelson. The English translation of the letter which his Highness wrote to the Society acknowledging the receipt of the diploma and the bust is appended to this Report, and affords a decisive proof of the sentiments which his Highness entertains of the great advantages which may be derived by the natives of India from the establishment of the Royal Asiatic Society.
