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.

Portée et contenu

Letter from Richard Clarke to Lord Palmerston, Foreign Secretary, to inform that the Society has done a lot of research on Cuneiform inscriptions under Major Rawlinson but they understand that a major 'find', a basalt slab 7'x 3' x 1' with cuneiform inscriptions has been located at Larcaca in Cyprus which might be available to HM Consul for a small fee and the slab then conveyed to England on one of HM ships. If this is not possible an alternative would be to take facsimiles of the slab and to forward these to London. A memorandum on how to prepare the impressions is enclosed. (Found on page 106)
