According to
its website,
this Society was founded on 1784 January 15 by
Sir William Jones (1746-1794).
Otness (1998) points out that, years later, in 1823, a society with similar goals, the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland was formed in Britain. Furthermore, in 1829 the Asiatic Society (Bengal) became the first branch of the RAS. |

Asiatick Researches, or, Transactions of the Society instituted
in Bengal, for inquiring into the history and antiquities, the
arts, sciences, and literature of Asia
For part of the time (perhaps v.15 onward) the title was given with the more modern spelling: Asiatic researches, or, Transactions of the society instituted in Bengal, for inquiring into the history and antiquities, the arts, sciences, and literature of Asia. According to the record in the Harvard Univ. cat., this title was superseded by B. There were several reprinted editions and translations of this journal; see, for example, A1, A2, A3 and A4.
