JOURNAL
OF THE
ASIATIC SOCIETY OF BENGAL,
EDITED BY
THE SECRETARIES.
VOL. XXIX.
Nos. I. to IV.—1860.
“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.
