George Augustus Addison

Grave of George Addison, Bogor Botanical Gardens

George Augustus Addison (Calcutta, 1792—Java, about 14 January 1815) was the author of collected works published posthumously under the title, Indian Reminiscences, or the Bengal Moofussul Miscellany, in London by Edward Bull in 1837. A young man of high promise, he died prematurely in Java of a fever. His knowledge of languages, his mathematical and classical attainments, his excellent qualities, and his religious character, are all highly extolled in the introduction to that work.
