* His Majesty having been pleased, subsequently, to grant to the Society the title of Royal, its present denomination is, The Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland. This distinction was announced to the Society, by its President, the Right Honourable Charles W. Williams Wynn, at the General Meeting, June 7, 1823, as appears from the Minutes.

The designation now is M.R.A.S. Member of the Royal Asiatic Society.

The Regulations have, accordingly, been framed. They were sanctioned by the Society, at the General Meeting, April 19, 1823. They were afterwards printed, and distributed among the Members.

The Charter, by which the Society now is incorporated, is dated August 11, 1824.
