178 Proceedings of the Mad. Lit. Society [No. 33, 



A proposition from C. P. Brown, Esq., for the reprint of such of 

 the numbers of the Madras Journal of Literature and Science as are 

 out of print is negatived on the score of the great expense required 

 for the republication of so many of the numbers, whilst of many of 

 the others only a very few copies remain. 



Resolved, — That a list of such books as require binding be pre- 

 pared and laid before the next Meeting of the Committee. 



Hesolved, — That the following works be ordered out from England 

 for the Society. 



Fasti Romani. By Clinton. 



T. Hood's Poetical Works. 



Sir E. L. Bulwer's Translation of Goethe. 



Fragmens Arabes et Persanes inedits relatives a I'lnde anterieurement au 



XI. Siecle de I'Europe. Recurilles par M. Renaud — Paris.

 Metcalfe Hall, Calcutta, lOth March, 1846, 



Dear Sir, 



The Agricultural Society having now taken possession of its 

 apartments in the Metcalfe Hall is desirous of making its Library as 

 complete as circumstances will admit. With that object in view I 

 do myself the pleasure of addressing you in regard to the Madra^ 

 Journal of Literature and Science, which is, I believe, under your 

 Superintendence. We have the work complete from the fifth volume, 

 but not a single number previous to that volume. If you would 

 therefore enable me to make the work complete, by sending me by 

 the next Steamer all the early numbers comprising Volumes 1 to 4, 

 namely, Nos. 1 to 13, I shall be much obliged; and, if desired, the 

 Society will be glad to pay for the same. 



Since writing the above, I find we want one more number, No. 18,
