The Council of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland takes this opportunity of informing the Members of the Society and the Public, that in selecting, from the communications read at the General Meetings, papers for publication in the Society's Transactions, it is guided by the importance or singularity of the subjects treated on, or by the advantageous manner of treating them; but that it does not guarantee the certainty of the facts or the propriety of the reasonings contained in the papers so published, which must still rest on the credit or judgment of their respective authors.
