" 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 at Calcutta. It will languish if such communications shall be long 

 intermitted j and it will die away, if theyjiiaLLeotirely cease. — Sir VVm. Jones.
