“ It will flourish, if naturalists, chemists, antiquaries, philologers, and men 
of science in different parts of Asia, will commit their observations to writing, 
and send them to the Asiatic Society at Calcutta. It will languish, if such 
communications shall he long intermitted; and it will die away, if they shall 
entirely cease.” Sir Wm. Jones.
