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 the Earl of Ellesmere. The Earl had sought advice as to whether the work suggested by Dr Hart was suitable for translation, and the reply is that the Council, advised by the Director, Prof. Wilson, and Col. Sykes, believe that the 'Pali code of Civil Law' is a work of great interest. However a Burmese translation should not be translated but an original work and its translation should be printed together with Dr Hart's commentary. It would appear that the Earl is funding the project. (Found on page 95)
