"It will flourish, if naturalists, chemists, antiquaries, philologers, and men of science, in different
parts of Asia will commit their observations to writing, and send them to the Asiatic Society,
in Calcutta; it will languish if such communications shall be long intermitted; and will die away
if they shall entirely cease."-SIR WM. JONES.
