Wilson, Horace Hayman, b. in London, 1786, was appointed an Assistant Surgeon on the Bengal Establishment of the East India Company in 1808, and arrived in the same year at Calcutta, where his services were secured in the assay office of the Mint, the duties of which he relieved by a zealous cultivation of Sanskrit literature; after a distinguished career in India, where he not only revived in the natives an interest in their own great authors, but introduced them to the knowledge of European science and English letters, in 1832 he returned to England to accept the Boden professorship of Sanskrit at Oxford, which post he retained (acting also as Librarian to the East India Company, a Director of the Royal Asiatic Society, &c.) until his death, May 8, 1860. In 1832 he married a daughter of G. I. Siddons, Esq., (of the Bengal Civil Service,) and grand-daughter of the famous Sarah Siddons, and by this lady he had several children.

"It was the distinguishing characteristic of our late Director that he considered nothing unworthy of his labours that was calculated to be useful, and was never influenced in his undertakings by the mere desire of acquiring distinction or increasing his fame. Many of these works exhibit powers of illustration and close reasoning which will place their author in a high position among the literary men of the age. But it is as a man of deep research, and as a Sanscrit scholar and Orientalist, as the successor of Sir William Jones and H. T. Colebrooke, the worthy wearer of their mantles, and inheritor of the pre-eminence they enjoyed in this particular department of literature, that his name will especially live among the eminent men of learning of his age and country."-II.

On returning to the pursuit of the "arts of peace." in 1865, General Wilson gettled in the city of New York, where he still (1870) remains, sufficiently occupied, as we have seen, in the conduct of a fertile pen.
