With regard to the remaining sets of the Macartney MSS., I must, for 
the present, content myself with merely publishing photographic speci¬ 
mens, and adding a few words of description. These manuscripts are writ¬

that even a mere publication of specimens of the original manuscripts 
would be welcome to Oriental scholars. My hope is that among those 
of my fellow-labourers who have made the languages of Central Asia 
their speciality, there may be some who may be able to recognize and 
identify the characters and language of these curious documents. To 
such I would only ask to be permitted to address the request that any

arranging a full publication of the manuscripts. 
Regarding their age I cannot venture to give any opinion, except
