Sir, — Accompanying is my Third Report of Progress in examining- 

 and collating the Mackenzie Manuscripts, made up to the end of March 

 last, which I beg leave to forward for the information of the Committee 

 of Papers of the Literary Society. 



To the best of my knowledge, and allowing for any possible over 

 sight, the whole of the documents in the Malay alam language have 

 now been examined and reported on ; though there still remain vari- 

 ous papers, in other languages, relating to the same locality. 



A third volume of restored Manuscripts corresponds with this sec- 

 tion of my general report. 



I have the honour to be, Sir, 



Year most obedient servant, 

 Madras, May 5, 1838. W. Taylor.
