The Asiatic Society publishes books in different series, viz., Bibliotheca Indica, Monograph, Seminar & Public Lecture, Catalogues & Bibliographical Works besides some books under Miscellaneous publications. Moreover, it publishes periodicals, i.e. a quarterly Journal of the Asiatic Society and Monthly Bulletin of the Asiatic Society and some booklets on different occasions etc.
In the very first year of the foundation of the Society, William Jones expressed the intention of bringing out an annual publication and called for papers from “all curious and learned men”. But Jones had to wait for at least three years. Anxiety of Jones caused by the delay was reflected in one of his letters of 27 September, 1788: “The Society has yet published nothing, but has material for two quarto volumes and will, I hope, send one to Europe next spring.” Finally, by the end of 1788 came out the first volume under the title of Asiatick Researches (instead of Asiatick Miscellany originally thought of by Jones), with the sub-title, Transactions of the Society Instituted in Bengal, for enquiring into the History and Antiquities, the Arts, Sciences and Literature, of Asia.
