潘祖廕李文田孫詒經夏同善張家驤 Pan Zuyin, Li Wentian, Sun Yijing, Xia Tongshan, and Zhang Jiaxiang

潘祖廕，字伯寅，江蘇吳縣人，大學士世恩孫。 Pan Zuyin, courtesy name Boyin, was a native of Wuxian in Jiangsu and the grandson of Grand Secretary Shi'en.

左宗棠被劾，召對簿，罪不測，祖廕上疏營救，且密薦其能，獄解，乃起獨領一軍。 When Zuo Zongtang was impeached and summoned for a hearing with his punishment uncertain, Zuyin memorialized in his defense and secretly recommended his abilities; the case was resolved, and Zuo was then able to take sole command of an army.

十一年，詔求直言，祖廕念車駕還都，首斥奸佞，綱紀一新，為上勤聖學、求人才、整軍務、裕倉儲四事。 In the eleventh year an edict called for frank criticism; mindful that the court was returning to the capital, Zuyin urged first rooting out corrupt ministers so that discipline might be restored, and he presented four priorities for the emperor: diligent pursuit of learning, recruitment of talent, reform of military affairs, and replenishment of the granaries.

祖廕念重臣進退，關係安危，疏請持平用中，酌予轉圜，袪世人惑。 Zuyin, mindful that the rise or fall of a senior minister touched the realm's safety, memorialized asking that the case be handled with balanced moderation and that room be given for reconciliation, so as to dispel public alarm.

五年，主事吳可讀以死請為穆宗立嗣，祖廕被命集議，與徐桐等請申不建儲，彝訓疏存毓慶宮。 In the fifth year the clerk Wu Kedu offered his life in a petition to name an heir for Emperor Muzong; Zuyin was ordered to convene deliberation and, with Xu Tong and others, urged adherence to the rule against establishing an heir and preservation of the precedents of the Yuyu Palace.

十六年，卒，贈太子太傅，諡文勤。 In the sixteenth year he died; he was posthumously made Senior Tutor of the Heir Apparent and given the posthumous name Wenqin (Diligent in Culture).

祖廕嗜學，通經史，好收藏，儲金石甚富。 Zuyin was devoted to scholarship, versed in the classics and history, and an avid collector; his holdings of bronzes and stone inscriptions were exceptionally rich.

祖廕好賢勤事，文田學識淹雅，同以通博稱。 Zuyin loved worthies and was diligent in affairs; Wentian's learning was broad and elegant; both were famed for comprehensive erudition.

江西學政陳寶琛疏請以先儒黃宗羲、顧炎武從祀文廟，議者多以爲未可，家鼐與潘祖蔭、翁同龢、孫詒經等再請，始議准。 When the Jiangxi educational commissioner Chen Baochen memorialized that the earlier Confucians Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu be admitted to sacrifices in the Confucian temple, many officials argued against it. Jianai joined Pan Zuyin, Weng Tonghe, Sun Yijing, and others in petitioning again, and only then was the proposal approved.

自此遂專心法律之學，爲尚書潘祖蔭所稱賞。 From then on he devoted himself to legal studies and won the praise of Minister Pan Zuyin.
