Excerpt from Transactions of the Literary Society of Bombay, Vol. 2

It is with concern that the Bombay Literary Society have observed that much delay has occurred in the publication of the first volume of their Transactions; but in consequence of the printing taking place in England, it has not been in their power to prevent it: without waiting, however, to learn what success may have been obtained by their former pages, they have determined to lay before the public another volume, which they trust will be found not entirely undeserving of attention.

When this Society was established, it was intended that its researches should comprehend subjects of literature in general, and not be confined to such as are merely Oriental. But the studies and pursuits of its members must naturally, from their place of residence, induce them to direct their attention to the History, Literature, and Antiquities of Asia. The field is vast; and although not altogether unexplored, still much of it remains either inaccurately surveyed, or not yet described. It may be hoped that the societies which have been established in India will contribute to throw a new and brighter light on many subjects that arc at present obscured by the darkness of antiquity; and to exhibit a corrector view than is to be found in any work hitherto published of the natural history of this extensive continent, and of the actual state of the manners and political economy of the various nations which inhabit it. In such labours the Bombay Literary Society are happy to participate; and they trust that future communications will enable them to render their Transactions the valuable repository of such short tracts or essays as may tend to the attainment of so desirable an object, but which their writers may think not adapted for a larger work.
