              Throughout its history the Royal Asiatic Society has made links with various universities. Perhaps most notable is that with the School of Oriental Studies (Now School of African and Oriental Studies), University of London, for which the Royal Asiatic Society had a representative on the Governing Body for many years. Material in these papers includes connections between the Royal Asiatic Society and the School for Oriental Studies, the University of Catania, Sicily, the Université Libre de Bruxelles, the University of Hong Kong, and the Department of Plant Sciences, University of Oxford.

              'Copy of a letter addressed to Col. Sykes by Dr. Gutzlaff, dated Hong Kong, 24 January 1851' in which he writes of the difficulties of interpreting the Buddhist literature as it is in verse and he cannot find anyone that can give an adequate explanation of it. He writes that the ancient literature writes of pilgrims between India and China and of the difference in Buddhism between the two countries.

              He also writes of the statistical investigation of the country and information that he is gleaning from merchants. He writes that the Royal Asiatic Society will publish his Japanese grammar.
