"It will flourish, if naturalists, chemists, antiquaries, philologers, and men of science 

 in dillerent 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; and it will die away, if they shall entirely cease." Sir Wm. Jones.
