S^S RULES OF THE ASIATICK SOCIETY. 



Committee shall select the papers for publication, 

 and superintend the printing of the Transactions of 

 the Society. 



1 1th. That the Society make it publickly known, 

 that it is their intention to establish a Museum and 

 Library, and that donations of books, manuscripts, 

 and curiosities, will be thankfully received and ac- 

 knowledged. 



The five first volumes of the Society's Researches 

 were published by the Superintendents of the 

 Honourable Company's Press, for the produce of 

 their sale ; but on the 3d of Maj/ 1798, the Society 

 resolved as follows 



I St. That the Transactions be hereafter publish- 

 ed at the expence, and on account of the Society j 

 both, as the Society has now a fund which may be 

 applied to that purpose, and as by this means the So- 

 ciety will be enabled to publish any number of en- 

 gravings that may be thought necessary to illustrate the 

 Papers, as well asto regulate the price, and thereby 

 extend the circulation of them. 



2d. That the Transactions be published in I?2dm , 

 as more convenient for the superintendence of the 

 Press, as well as beinsr more suitable to an Asiatick 

 Society; and that the mode of publication, with all 

 other details, be left, as heretofore, to the Committee 

 ©f Papers. 



3d. That the Committee of Papers be authorized 

 to draw upon the Treasurer for any sums requisite 

 to defray the expence of publishing the Transactions ; 

 and that an order, signed by a majority of the Com- 

 mittee, be a sufficient warrant to the Treasurer for 

 paying the same.
