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.

Letter from Richard Clarke, Secretary, to Dr Harland, Secretary, Hong Kong Branch of Royal Asiatic Society, to inform that the Society's package of the transactions of his Society are held up at Post Office because £3-10-0 is due which the Royal Asiatic Society refuses to pay. The Post Office will not relent because a 'large proportion' of this amount is due to the French Government. Clarke advises that future packets should not be sent as a letter but as a packet via Southampton. He continues that the Society has not had the pleasure of a visit from Mr Bowring (who in 1849 was appointed to as British Consul in Canton). (Found on page 93)
