BIOGRAPHICAL ESSAYS BY F. MAX MÜLLER, K. M. MEMBER OF THE FRENCH INSTITUTE RÂMMOHUN ROY, KESHUB CHUNDER SEN DAYANANDA SARASVATI BUNYIU NANJIO AND KENJIU KASAWARA COLEBROOKE, MOHL, BUNSEN London LONGMANS, GREEN, AND CO. 1884 [All rights reserved] 2 RAJAH RAMMOHUN ROY. (1774-1833.) Address delivered in the Bristol Museum, September 27, 1883, the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Rajah's death. T is only fifty years ago that Râjah Râmmohun Roy, who had come to Bristol to pay a visit to Dr. Carpenter and other friends, died here on the 27th of September, 1833. He drew his last breath at twenty-five minutes past two o'clock in the morning. On the 18th of October his body was committed to the earth, under the shadow of some fine old elm-trees in the garden of Stapleton Grove, where the Râjah had been staying, since the beginning of September, as the guest of Miss Castle, a ward of Dr. Carpenter's. Lastly, in 1843, on the 29th of May, the remains of the Rajah were transferred from Stapleton Grove to the beautiful cemetery of Arno's Vale. There, as you enter, on the right hand side, many of those whom I have the honour to address here to-night, have no doubt gazed and wondered at a strange Oriental monument, which was erected over the tomb of the Rajah by my old friend, Dvârkânâth1 Tagore, 1 Dvârakânatha, like Dvârakesa, is a name of Krishna.
