H. Torrens, Esq. Secretary, Asiatic Society. 



Dear Sir, — As I believe, under the present system of publication, there is no 

 objection to an interchange of the Journal of the Asiatic Society with those of other 

 bodies, I beg on behalf of the Committee of Papers to state, that the Agricul- 

 tural Society will be happy to exchange Journals with your Society. The inter- 

 change can commence with the Journals of the respective Societies from the begin- 

 ning of the current year, should this proposal be acceded to. 



I am, dear Sir, 



Your's faithfully, 

 Agricultural Society's Room, James Hume, 



Town Hall, August 17, 1843. Honorary Secretary.
