" It will flourish, if naturalists, chemists, antiquaries, philologers, and men of science, in differ- 

 ent parts of Asia will commit their observations to writing, and send them to the Asiatic Society 

 in Calcutta; it will languish, if such commu nicatio ns shall be long intermitted ; and will die away 

 if they shall entirely cease."~SiR Wm.,,^^^^^^/^^
