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