This article appears in Volume V22, Page 350 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PRE-PYR
PRINSEP, JAMES (1999-1840) , Anglo-Indian scholar and antiquary, was born on the loth of August 1799. In 1819 he was given an appointment in the Calcutta mint, where he ultimately became assay-master, succeeding H. H.
Wilson
 , whom he likewise succeeded as secretary of the Asiatic Society. Apart from architectural
work
  (chiefly at Benares), his leisure was devoted to Indian
inscriptions
  and
numismatics
 , and he is remembered as the first to decipher and translate the
rock
  edicts of Asoka. Returning to England in 1838 in broken
health
 , he died in London on the 22nd of
April
  184o. Prinsep's
Ghat
 , an archway on the bank of the Hugli, was erected to his memory by the citizens of Calcutta.
