Portée et contenu
'Extract of a Letter from Captain M. Kittoe, dated Benares (Varanasi) 8 Oct. 1847, addressed to Col. Sykes' in which he writes that James Prinseps has suggested that he support the Asiatic Society in Bengal, otherwise he would send his communications directly to the Royal Asiatic Society. He writes of the controversy as to whether Hindu or Buddhist archaeology in India has the greater antiquity and suggests both parties may be right, though he favours Buddhist as the more ancient. He writes that he is currently in Benares and of his explorations.
