Academia Liter arum ct Scientiarum regia Monacensk ad Aeademiam 



quae dicitur. " Literary and Philosophical Society of Madras." 



Cum academia nostra non solum suis ipsa vMbus, quantum fieri potest, 

 solidae doctrinoe terminos promovere, sed etiam ea omnia accurate cog- 

 noscere, et in usus suos convertere studeat, quae ab aliis academiis in 

 diversis litterarum et scientiarum provinciis inveniuntur, aut jam inventa 

 excoluntur et ornantur, in conventu suo decrevit, ut numerus exterarum 

 academiarum, quibuscum talem studiorum communionem jam inivimus 

 accessione earum augeatur, ex quarum consortio fructus, qui e tali socie- 

 tate nasci solent, largiores et optabiliores expectare potest. 



Itaque aeademiam vestram quae in saluberrimo litteras et scientias 

 promovendi studio insignem locum obtinet, ad hanc societatem nobiscum 

 in eundam invitamus. Quod si gratum fuisse audiverimus, mittentur 

 ad earn, ex libris academia nostra editis, omnes illi, quos ei gratas fore 

 cognoverimus : simulque omnes qui in posterum edentur, petimusque, 

 ut item nobis academia vestra praestare velit in libris qui ab ipsa publi- 

 cati sunt, aut in posterum publicantur. 



Libri nobis destinati commodissime ad aeademiam nostram pervenient, 

 si per librarios mittentur, quorum nomen his litteris subjunximus.

Sir, 



I have the honor of adding to the letter above of the President of 

 the Royal Bavarian Academy, that being charged with the foreign cor- 

 respondence, I should be exceedingly gratified by receiving a detailed 

 instruction how a regular correspondence between the Madras Society 

 and our Academy is to be conducted. Letters may perhaps be sent on 

 the most convenient way overland, directing them to the British Consul 

 at Trieste. Communications of a greater extent will find their expedition
