The Council of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and 

 Ireland takes this opportunity of informing the Members of the 

 Society and the Public, that in selecting, from the communications read 

 at the General Meetings, papers for publication in the Society's Tran- 

 sactions, it is guided by the importance or singularity of the subjects 

 treated on, or by the advantageous manner of treating them ; but that it 

 does not guarantee the certainty of the facts or the propriety of the 

 reasonings contained in the papers so published, which must still rest on 

 the credit or judgment of their respective authors.
