AND XX. OP THE ASIATIC RESEARCHES AND TO VOLUMES I. TO XXIII. OF THE JOURNAL OF THE ASIATIC SOCIETY OF / BENGAL, CALCUTTA: PRINTED BY .T. THOMAS, BAPTIST MISSION TRESS. 185G. PREFACE. The following Index owes its origin to a desire to render the varied and valuable matter contained in the Transactions of the Asiatic Society easy of reference to the Compiler. In submit- ting it to the Members, he is anxious that nothing more should be expected from it than just what it assumes to be — a resume of the several volume indices to the Journal of the Society and to the last two volumes of the Asiatic Researches. All attempt at systematic classification has been suppressed, and little more has been done than to record, under the usual alphabetical arrangement, the subjects, the names of the authors, and the local connexion of the articles as they appear in their titles. The appendix includes : 1st, An Index to the Numismatic Papers, Notices and Plates that have appeared in the Journal; compiled by G. H. Freeliug, Esq. B. C. S., 2nd, A reprint of Col. Sykes’s List of Ancient Inscriptions published in the Journal. 3rd, Mr. Piddington’s Index to the Indian Geological, Mineralogical and Palaeontological papers in the Researches and the Journal of the Society, and in the Gleanings of Science; and 4th, A Table of Indian Coals Analyzed at the Calcutta Assay Office, including those published in the Gleanings in Science, September, 1831, arranged according to localities extracted from the Report of the Coal Committee; by Mr. Jas. Prinsp. It. M. 20th December, 1856. TO VOLUMES XIX. AND XX. OF THE ASIATIC RESEARCHES AND TO VOLUMES I. TO XXIII. OF THE JOURNAL OF THE ASIATIC SOCIETY OF BENGAL.
