"It will flourish, if naturalist*, 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 in 

 Calcutta ; it will languish, if such communications shall be long intermitted ; and will die away, if 

 they shall entirely cease." — Sir Wm. Jonj.
