" 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."
