To H. Torrens, Esq. Secretary of the Asiatic Society. 



Sir, — I beg to submit a list of the incomplete and defective works of our Library, 

 as a Supplement to that of the periodicals, which, on a previous occasion, I had the 

 honour to lay before the Society. 



To facilitate the use of this list, I have made several divisions. The letter A con- 

 tains the works, which have not yet been completed by their authors ; B those, of which 

 the contents are unconnected with the immediate objects of the Society, and to com- 

 plete which is not of urgent necessity ; while under C are classed the books of reference, 

 and those which bear upon the Researches of the Society. Lastly, D, includes the 

 works which have been presented to the Society, and the subsequent volumes of which 

 may be expected to be forwarded to the Library, as soon as published. Those which 

 are marked by an asterisk, have already been mentioned in our Proceedings for July 

 1843. 



Should the Society decide on an ultimate completion of these works, I would beg to 

 suggest, firstly, that the books comprehended under C, should be completed, and that 

 the Librarian should be authorized to procure them in Calcutta, before the present 

 report is printed, as the prices of the books, if known to be wanted by the Society, 

 would in consequence be raised. I have the honour to be, Sir, 



Asiatic Society's Rooms, Your most obedient servant,
