The Bicentenary Celebrations to commemorate the birth of Sir William Jones, the founder of this Society, were held in the beginning of 1946. We offer apologies for the inordinate delay in bringing out this Volume, due no doubt to unavoidable circumstances, as explained by the then and the present Secretaries. I deem it a great privilege to present this Volume to the members of this Society as also to all who are interested in the work initiated by the great founder.
Founder of the oldest Oriental Society and himself a scholar and investigator of the first rank, Sir William Jones will be remembered for all ages as one of the foremost intellectuals of the world. I fervently hope that the ideal and the scope of the activities of the Asiatic Society as formulated by the founder will continue to be remembered by all concerned. May the Society continue to be a source of inspiration to all investigators of truth in arts and science and justify its existence in Independent India.
