Wilson (1786-1860), described as 'the greatest Sanskrit scholar of his time', received his education in London and journeyed to India in the East India Company's medical service.
Wilson also warned that the Vedic adherents were likely to show 'tenacious obstinacy' about their 'speculative tenets.
HoraceHaymanWilson was elected the first Boden professor in 1832.
Nevertheless, it was H.H. Wilson, the Orientalist candidate and inheritor of William Jones’ mantle, who won the first election as Boden professor by a slim margin, over an Anglicist candidate who had campaigned on a platform of Bible translation.
In the end, it seems, a bare majority of Convocation was unable to ignore the fact that Wilson knew Sanskrit language and literature incomparably well, even though his detractors had accused him of having once kept an Indian concubine, and what was worse, of being, on the subject of Sanskrit, positively enthusiastic.

The blue clad ‘Govind Sinhis’ to whom Wilson referred to were clearly identified in another of his articles.
Thus, Wilson made it clear that it was the Akalis, also known as the Singhs of Guru Gobind Singh, who formed the most important division of Sikh society.
Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were: John Wilson, who settled in Virginia in 1623; Ann Wilson, who immigrated to Maryland in 1673; Richard Wilson, who arrived in the Barbados with his wife and two children and servants in 1680.
In continental Europe, the most ancient recorded family crest was discovered upon the monumental effigy of a Count of Wasserburg in the church of St. Emeran, at Ratisobon, Germany...
In the Wilson coat of arms as in all coat of arms the crest is only one element of the full armorial achievement.
