<' 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 at Calcutta. It will languish, if such communications shall be long 

 intermitted ; and it will die away, if they shall entirely cease." Sir Wm. Jones.
