'''George Augustus Addison''' (1792—14 January 1815) was a British public official and writer.<br />
<br />
Addison was born in [[Calcutta]] in 1792, the son of John Addison, a civil servant in the [[East India Company]] who was at that time Judge of [[Natore District|Natore]]. He was sent home at the age of five to be educated at [[Newcome's School]] in [[Hackney, London|Hackney]] before returning to the far east.<ref name="rem">{{cite book |last1=Addison |first1=George Augustus |title=Indian reminiscences, or, The Bengal Moofussul miscellany |date=1837 |publisher=Edward Bull |location=London |url=https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Indian_Reminiscences,_or_the_Bengal_Moofussul_Miscellany |oclc=228675935}}</ref><br />

Like his father, Addison became a public servant and by 1814 was Private Secretary to [[Stamford Raffles|Sir Stamford Raffles]]. However, whilst serving in [[Java (island)|Java]], he succumbed to a fever and died on {{death date and age |1815|1|14 |1792|df=yes}}.<ref name=rem/> His collected works were published posthumously under the title, ''Indian Reminiscences, or the Bengal Moofussul Miscellany'', in [[London]] by Edward Bull in 1837. 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.<ref>{{Cite Newgenbio |title=Addison, G.
