This stone has been placed here by his family & by his Tamil friends in S outh India in loving admiration of his life long labours in the cause of oriental literature & philosophy."

It is likely that he is the reason why Gottlieb, the eldest son of Mary Crisp van Someren and August Friedrich Wolff went to Oxford after being resettled in Europe as a teenager. Hence the immediate reason why the Wolffs became English.
