" 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, 

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

 if they shall entirely cease."— Sir Wm. Jones.
