The Author takes this opportunity of expressing his obligations to the 
Printers. 
Mr. Tassin, at whose Press the plates were struck off, had no in- 
terest in the work of a pecuniary nature, since the drawings were litho- 
graphed by the author’s artists, under the pay of the Society during the time 
they were so engaged. Mr. Tassin’s only charges therefore were merely for 
printing and paper—a profitless way of employing his Presses. 
Of the manner in which the text is printed, any one who has paid 
attention to the progress of printing in Calcutta may judge. The author, 
however, owes it to Mr. Ridsdale to say, that he found him as solicitous 
for every thing on which the appearance of this part of the work depended 
as himself, and that any errors which have occurred in its execution are 
the author’s.
