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 James Scott, Warwick St, Soho, concerning a letter sent demanding parochial rates for circa £25. Clarke mentions a decision by Lord Campbell in Queen v. Linnaean Society referring to an Act of Parliament whereby rates are not due. Clarke requests that the Royal Asiatic Society should be treated in a similar manner and therefore the Society declines to pay the rates demanded. (Found on page 199)
