CHAPTER XII.
Prince Eszterházy’s inquiry regarding Csoma’s papers—List of some
of them—Renewal of his tombstone at Darjeeling—Placed on the list
of public monuments by the Government of India—His
portrait—Conclusion.
Through the Indian Government Csoma’s death was notified to the
authorities in England, and we find that Prince Eszterházy wrote to the
directors of the East India Company thanking them for their
communication of the sad event, and inquiring at the same time whether
the Asiatic Society of Bengal would feel disposed to put the
Transylvanian authorities in possession of any papers that may have
been found among Csoma’s writings relating to special researches
concerning the history of the Hungarians in ancient times.
