The Sahitya is a well known Sanscrit work on rhetoric, giving a view of 

 the various kinds of composition in Sanscrit, and would be of great interes 

 to the student of Sanscrit literature. 



The Section also recommend the reprinting of the text. It has been pub- 

 lished before by the Committee of Public Instruction, but is now out of 

 print, and a new edition will be acceptable, and meet with a ready sale, as it 

 is a text-book in the Government Sanscrit Colleges. 



I forward the undermentioned Sanscrit books, which the Section propose 

 to be purchased for the Library. 



I have the honour to be, Sir, 



Your most obedient Servant, 

 E. Roer, 

 Co" Secretary, Asiatic Society, Oriental Department.

To Captain F. Hayes, Secretary, Asiatic Society. 



Sir, — By direction of the Oriental Section I have the honour to return 

 the letters from Messrs. Lassen, Burnouf* and Muller, and to submit the 

 suggestions of the Section thereon, for the approval of the Council and the 

 Society. 



2. With reference to Dr. Miiller's letter the Section would propose, 



1. That the Society should subscribe to 10 copies of each of the works

 Weber's edition of the white Yajur Veda.
