Dialects, Statistics, and Natural History, they are 

 already amply supplied with most valuable materials. 

 To Colonel Stacy and his gallant companions with the 

 Army of the Indus, they look with confidence for 

 numerous contributions in the History and Numis- 

 matology of the interesting countries on the route of 

 the Candahar expedition. In fine, the Editors enter- 

 tain sanguine hopes of still preserving the " Journal" 

 for the Society, and the Public, provided the old con- 

 tributors participate in some degree in their anxiety to 

 accomplish this object. As a claim on the co-operation 

 of those who have hitherto been so instrumental in 

 maintaining the character of this Periodical, the res- 

 ponsible Editor assures the Subscribers that any pecu- 

 niary returns which may exceed the expenses, will be 

 devoted to increasing its bulk, improving its quality, 

 and adding to the number of its illustrations. The 

 Work is thus the property and benefit of a " Joint Stock 

 Company," of which the Editors are but the honorary, 

 though anxious servants. 



%* Contributors are deemed entitled to 50 copies of their papers, 

 which will be forwarded, bearing postage, by letter or banghy dak 

 wherever they direct. Copies of the Journal are dispatched by each 

 Overland Mail to the leading Periodicals in Europe and America.
