ORIENTAL LITERATURE.

IN consequence of the very considerable expence, as well as the delay and difficulty in procuring from Calcutta the successive Volumes of ASIATIC RESEARCHES, Melfrs. CADELL and DAVIES are induced to undertake the Republication of that most valuable Work, handsomely printed in quarto, on good paper, and with accurate Copies of all the Plates, &c. together with the IMPORTANT ADDITIONS of Notes and Emendations by German Critics, the Remarks of several ingenious Orientalists resident here and in India (some of whom are Members of the Asiatic Society), and numerous Illustrations from an ample Stock of Eastern M. S. S. and other original Materials, collected by WILLIAM OUSELEY, Esq.

Author of the Persian Miscellanies, &c. under whose superintendence these Volumes will be published,

The first Volume will appear very soon, and the succeeding volumes will follow with as much expedition as the requisite attention to accuracy will admit of. And although the Additions (including various Passages from Oriental Authors, given in their proper characters, &c.) will be both numerous and expensive, the Publishers hope to present these Volumes to the public at a very moderate price.

Melfrs. CADELL and DAVIES will publish early in the next month the Third and Fourth Numbers of the ORIENTAL COLLECTIONS, completing the First Volume of that Work for the year 1797. And it is the intention of the Editor to publish the Second Volume (for 1798) in the course of the approaching summer, and the Third Volume (for 1799) at the close of the present year—after which the Work will be regularly continued in four annual Numbers, published Quarterly, at half-a-guinea each. The favourable reception which the ORIENTAL COLLECTIONS met with from the learned of this country, will sufficiently appear by a reference to the several Reviews; and the very high estimation in which it is held in India, and on the Continent of Europe, especially in Germany, is evinced by the Critiques and Letters of many Orientalists, Extracts from which shall be given in a proper place.
