Read the following letter from the Librarian : 



To H. Torrens, Esa. Secretary, Asiatic Society. 



Sir,— I have the honor to submit to you an alphabetical list of the books received during the 

 past year into the Library, together with the account sales of the Oriental publications, and an 

 account of the publications delivered, sold and in store, from the 31st of July 1843, to the 31st of 

 December 1844. 



From the alphabetical list it appears, that the number of works received, is nearly the same 

 with that of the preceding year. 



I beg, however, to observe, that most of these works bear upon Natural History and Natural 

 Science in general, while a few only are connected with Oriental Researches. Although it is very 

 desirable, that the library of the Asiatic Society should contain standard works on natural sciences, 

 the Oriental division, which is so closely linked with the objects of the Society, should not be 

 neglected. I therefore beg to propose, that the Society may be pleased to fix an annual sum of some 

 hundred rupees to enable the Librarian to improve the collection of Oriental works in the Library. 



I have the honour to be, Sir, 

 Your most obedient servant, 

 lith January, 1845. E. Roer.
