An English translation of "Entwurf einer Grammatik der Herero Sprache", the work by Karl Hugo Hahn, that was supposed to be undertaken with the linguist Wilhelm Bleek. As this was not possible, due to circumstances, Hahn delivered his own version of the book to Riga in 1854. It is the first grammar of the Herero language spoken by the Herero people in Southern Africa.

'Facsimiles of three Muhammedan Gold Coins, found on the Coast of Malabar with some remarks upon them'. The three coins described were thrown up during a heavy gale on the beach at the mouth of the Balliaputtan river, five miles from Cananow on the Coast of Malabar in 1818. One of them is dated AH301 and appears to have been struck at the mint of Constantine near Cordova, the Capital of a province of the same name in Andalusia, under the reign of Abdurrahman the third. The other two are dated AH407 and bear the name of Abd ul Hussein Ali. The coins were presented to the Madras Literary Society by Thomas Hervey Baber. There are a number of papers with the facsimiles. These are:

• Letter from Thomas Hervey Baber to Mr Anderson, Acting Secretary of the Madras Literary Society, dated 25 November 1818.
