 He wished to see the college library, expecting to find some rare Armenian manuscripts, as he had found in Armenia, during a tour in 1888.We happened to be present in the college at that time, and acted as a cicerone, not knowing who the strange visitor, with long hair, was.We showed him the remnants of the once-famous "Araratian Library" and placed in his hands an Armenian work, printed by Jacob Shameer at Madras, in 1772, thinking we were showing him a rare publication, but he said that he had seen it already in the Madras Armenian Church Library.
