donation of Rs. 55,000, for the foundation of the Sir Jamshedji Fellowship (in Zend-Avestâ and Pahlavi), which it has been my good fortune to hold since the beginning of 1885, and which, I am happy to say, has encouraged me to undertake the arduous task of translating into English an elaborate German work on the civilization of Eastern-Irân, by which my co-religionists have been made acquainted with the ideas entertained by foreigners on Zoroastrianism.
