"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."-
