310 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [No. 3, 
tion.” It was hoped that the publication of the further vols. might 
be effected by means of private efforts. 
Messrs. Austin’s estimate for publishing these three vols. which 
ineluded a reprint of the Ist vol. altered by the author (500 pp. per 
vol.) including Oriental type, corrections, and cloth-binding, was 
£200. 
Mr. Bayley, who had examined all the materials, reported on them 
thus ;—Vols. 4 and 5 far advanced; 6 and 7, materials and outlines 
only ready ; 8, nearly as far advanced as vols. 10 and 11, which are 
about, say, half ready ; 9, in an equally forward state with the three 
first vols. 
The arrangement which was made with Mr. Morley for publishing 
the work to the extent of the Board of Control’s grant was terminated 
by that gentleman’s death, and no similar arrangement has since 
been found feasible. It seems to the Committee that there is great 
risk of the late Sir H. Elliot’s labours being altogether lost, uniess the 
Society comes forward with an offer to undertake the superintendence 
of the publication. 
They think that an arrangement on some such plan as the following 
might be made with Lady Elliot in whose possession the materials 
are. 
1.—The publication to be a special series under the title of the 
* Hlliot Papers,” or “ Remains,’ under the superintendence of the 
Philological Committee, as the Bibliotheca Indica is published. 
2.—This Committee to undertake the carrying each vol., as it 
stands, through the press. No editorial amendments or alterations to 
be made. 
3.—The charges to be defrayed from the late Court’s grant to such 
extent as this can be made to go. If the Society fail to get this 
special grant increased they might, with the necessary permission, 
continue the publication at the charge of the Oriental Fund. Vol. 12 
will not be required. It was to contain selected texts, but the 
Society is already publishing its own selection of these texts in the 
new series of the Bibliotheca Indica. 
None of the vols. from 4 to 11, apparently will be full vols. It 
seems probable that on Mr. Austin’s estimate for the cost of three 
full volumes, the Society will be able to print the whole for from 
£300 to £900.
