$58 COl'Y OF A LETTER, &C. 



TO THE PRESIDENT. 



DEAR SIR, 



I DO myfelf the honour to fend you a few Remarks on 

 Tagara, and beg leave to fubmit them to your 

 Judgment. Inquiries of that kind are generally very 

 dry; and unluckily I have no talent for amplification. 

 I have collected all I could find in the ancient authors, 

 and endeavoured, by bringing the whole together, to 

 elucidate a fubject which muft be interefting to the 

 AJiatick Society ; and this, I hope, will fecure me their 

 indulgence, I have been as fparing as poffible of Greek 

 quotations : I am not fond of them ; however, I have 

 ventured a few, which I thought absolutely neceffary. 

 With refpect. to the hifiorical part, you will find, I am 

 not converfant with the Hindu Antiquities : indeed, I 

 have no time to ftudy languages. 



1 am, 



DEAR SIR, 

 Your moft obedient humble Servant, 

 F. WILFORD.
