" 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.
