sign, in bas relief, of Britannia seated on a globe, on a rock by the sea-shore, looking towards the east; her right hand leaning on an union shield, her left holding a trident, and her head decorated by a naval crown. Behind her, two boys; one leaning on a cornucopia, the other diverting himself among flowing riches. Female figures, emblematic of India, Asia, and Africa, presenting the different productions of their climes : Thames, with his head crowned with rushes, fills up the groupe. The pictures in this room are views of Fort St. George, Bombay, St. Helena, Cape of Good Hope, Fort William, and Tellichery.-Committee Room. An excellent painting of General Lawrence.-Old Sale Room.

A very considerable collection of interesting and curious Indian literature. In circular recesses, at the east end of this library, are busts of the late Warren Hastings, and Mr. Orme the historian. Every book known to have been published in any language whatever, relative to the history, laws, or jurisprudence of Asia is to be found here, besides an unparalleled collection of manuscripts in all the Oriental languages, and among them Tippoo Saib's copy of the Koran.

A fragment of jasper, upwards of two feet in length, is also to be seen here, entirely covered with inscribed characters.

The whole is to be seen for a small gratuity to some of the officers, court days, &c. excepted.

The monuments most remarkable are those of Stow, the antiquary, who died in 1605, Lord Craven, &c.: the latter resided at the Old East India-House, which one of his descendants disposed of to the Company in 1726.
