 Hodgson's Blind Alley ?
The authority cited for 6this is Brian Houghton Hodgson.
Since Hodgson's schools bore no relation to what had by them been discovered to be the true state of affairs where Buddhist doctrinal disputes were concerned, it was naturally assumed that Hodgson must have been describing Nepalese schools of Buddhist, a pseudo-fact which was taken as further evidence of the supposed degeneracy of Nepalese Buddhism.
Hodgson was assistant Resident from 1825 to 1833 and Resident from 1833 to 1843.

 HIMAL SOUTHASIAN | July 2006
The Origin of Himalayan Studies is a volume of essays about Brian Hodgson, the first British Resident in the Kathmandu Valley and a significant supplier of some of the first Nepali manuscripts to reach Europe.
This is followed by sketches of Hodgson himself; his political role and domestic problems; his relationship with Joseph Hooker, the English botanist; and essays on Hodgson’s many studies – Buddhism, Buddhist architecture, zoology, mammals, ornithology, ethnography and linguistics.
Indeed, Hodgson was a cladistical maniac, a relentless classifier, a genius of taxonomy and even taxidermy – but not an intellect that analysed and interpreted.

These historical sources are among those collected by Brian Houghton Hodgson – a British diplomat and self-trained Orientalist appointed to the Kathmandu court during the second quarter of the 19th century – and his principal research aide, the Newar scholar Khardar Jitmohan.

But, ‘one is to argue that Hodgson (from whose article the Linguistic Survey of India drew its Kusunda vocabulary) was a well-meaning Victorian amateur whose data are worthless, whereas those of Reinhard and Toba are the reliable findings of modern professionals’ (Whitehouse 2000).

Hodgson took upon himself to disobey his instructions, a breach of discipline justified to his own mind by his superior knowledge of the situation, but which the governor general could hardly be expected to overlook.
What was by Hodgson's own admission 'foreign to my pursuits' was the study of Buddhism; nevertheless, 'my respect for science in general led me cheerfully to avail myself of the opportunity afforded, by my residence in a Bauddha country, for collecting and transmitting to Calcutta the materials for such investigation'.
The Victorian Establishment could not forgive Brian Hodgson his action in trading what was seen as rightfully belonging to Britain for the boutonnière of a chevalier of the Legion d'honneur (1838), the gold medal of the Société Asiatique (1838) and honorary membership of the Institut de France (1844).

According to F W Thomas, who compiled a brief handlist of the collection: 'during the period 1864-1919 the papers underwent no searching examination, although on one or two occasions some of the more accessible were consulted.
In the course of the various changes through which the Library passed the large bundles were dispersed, and there was a certain admixture of papers of other provenance.' The papers were bound up and Thomas compiled his handlist between 1919 and 1927.
The handlist is not in volume number order but, according to F W Thomas, has been arranged as far as possible according to the original parcels and sub-parcels in which the collection was received.
