Histoire administrative

The Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland was founded by the eminent Sanskrit scholar Sir Henry Thomas Colebrooke on the 15th March 1823. It received its Royal Charter from King George IV on the 11th August 1824 'for the investigation of subjects connected with and for the encouragement of science, literature and the arts in relation to Asia'. It continues as a forum for those who are interested in the languages, cultures and history of Asia to meet and exchange ideas.

Portée et contenu

A small amount of 19th century correspondence concerned with the Journal remains. These are:

  • 'Some remarks on reading Lt. Col. Colebrooke's papers relating to Ceylon' - a critique of a paper submitted by Lt. Col. Colebrooke, unknown author, undated.
  • Correspondence from J.W. Bosanquet to Edwin Norris concerning a paper he is submitting, two letters, dated 29 October 1858 and 2 November 1858. Also a letter from H.H. Wilson to Edwin Norris to state there would be no objection to Bosanquet's paper being included, dated 27 [August 1859]. The article was published in the Journal in 1860.
  • Correspondence from Brian Houghton Hodgson to Edwin Norris and J.W. Redhouse concerning the publication of papers he had sent. Four Handwritten letters dated 18 January 1861, 19 January 1861, 16 February 1861 and 19 February 1861. Hodgson first deems the material not worth printing, then reconsiders and offers and sends £10 towards the cost. There is a further letter from R. Spence Hardy considering that the material may well be of interest if it does not overlap that of Gutzlaff's printed in 'Miscellaneous Translations from Oriental Languages'. Handwritten, dated 20 May 1861. The article appeared in JRAS 18 (1861), "Notice on Buddhist Symbols" pp.393-399.
  • Correspondence from J.E. Hall to J.W. Redhouse concerning a paper he is writing on an inscription and how ill-health has slowed the process. Two letters, dated 18 July [1863] and 17 August 1863. Letter from Henry Cope, Secretary of the Agri-Horticultural Society of the Punjab, requesting a copy of the paper written by Professor Medlicott to be translated into the local languages, dated 22 January 1863.
  • Letter from Professor P. Petersen to Forster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot responding to criticism of his article by Mr Fleet, dated 14 October 1892.
