Institutionele geschiedenis
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.

Inhoud en structuur
Bereik en inhoud
Letter from Richard Clarke, Secretary, to John Capper, Secretary, Ceylon Branch of Royal Asiatic Society, concerning a paper by Dr McVicar on the Village Councils in Ceylon. Clarke also gives details regarding new Regulations of the Society including that members in Ceylon will have to pay one guinea to receive the Journal. The letter also provides information as to what members will have to pay should they return to England. Further there seems to be a problem with dispatch of the Society's Journal to Ceylon. Also the Society in London has not received a copy of Issue no. 2 of the Ceylon Society's Journal. (Found a page 122)
