Eesolution. 



At the instance of Pundit Eadhakrishna, of Lahore, a scheme was 

 sanctioned by a Eesolution in the Home Department, dated 3rd November 

 1868, for the discovery and preservation of the records of ancient Sanscrit 

 literature, at an outlay of Es. 24,000 per annum. The chief features of the 

 scheme were as follows : 



(1.) " To print uniformly all procurable unprinted lists of the San- 

 " crit manuscripts in Indian libraries, and to send them to the various 

 " learned societies of Europe and to individual scholars in Europe and India, 

 *' with an intimation that the Government will carefully attend to their 

 " suggestions as to which of the manuscripts therein mentioned should be 

 " examined, purchased or transcribed ;"
