CALCUTTA:

"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 be long
intermitted; and it will die away, if they shall entirely cease." SIR WM. JONES.
