NOTICE, 



The Committee of the Literary Society have to apologize to their 

 Subscribers for the great delay that has taken place in the publica- 

 tion of this Number, which has been occasioned solely by the ab- 

 sence, during the last year from the Presidency of all the Members 

 of the Editorial Sub-Committee, and the consequent interruption en- 

 tailed thereby. To the same cause must be attributed the mistake 

 in paging the present volume, which has rendered it necessary to 

 form it into two Parts— and accounts for Ahe> alteration in the uraial 

 form of the Title-page. 



For the convenience of Subscribers in the Mofussil, the Committee 

 beg to suggest the advantage and saving of expense that would ac- 

 crue to them, by directing the delivery o% their copies to their Agents 

 in Madras — to be forwarded as opportunities offer. The same ar- 

 rangement would facilitate the payment of Subscriptions-p- ?n object 

 of much moment to the Committee — as the work is published with- 

 out profit at cost charges, and the funds of the Society are so ex- 

 tremely limited as barely to suffice for the maintenance of the Libra- 

 ry. For these reasons the Committee earnestly intreat Subscribers 

 who have not yet done so, to remit the amount of the last and the 

 present Numbers to the Librarian, at their earliest convenience.
