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.

Letter from Richard Clarke, Secretary, to Dr J.G. Hugel, Leipzig University, to inform that his pamphlet, being the preface of his dictionary, has been laid before Council. However this is not a topic of interest to Royal Asiatic Society. Also he has requested books to be transported to India but is informed that there are duty and transport costs which must be pre-paid. He is given the address of Messrs. Smith and Elder of Cornhill, booksellers and publishers, who may be able to help. (Found on page 87)
