Book excerpt: Excerpt from Assyria From the Earliest Times to the Fall of Nineveh It will be seen by this work that there are great and important periods of Assyrian history of which we know nothing or next to nothing; the reason of which is, that sufficient excavations and researches have not been made on the sites of the Assyrian cities.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Babylonians and Assyrians: Life and Customs The object of this series is to present, in brief and compact form, a knowledge of the more important facts in the history of this family in a way that will be serviceable to students in colleges, universities, and theological seminaries, to the clergy, and to intel ligent lay readers. It has been the good fortune of the Editor and Publishers to secure the interest and co-operation of scholars who are fitted by their special knowledge of the subjects entrusted to them. Works written on Semitic subjects by those whose knowledge is gained from other than the original sources are sure to be defective in many ways. It is only the specialist whose knowledge enables him to take a comprehen sive view of the entire field in which he labors who is able to gain the perspective necessary for the produc tion of a general work which will set forth promi uently, and in their proper relations, the salient and most interesting facts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Assyrian Life and History The results of research in the Assyrian documents may be described as a new corrimentary on the Old Testament. To use this valuable aid to Biblical study aright, we must understand its language and style, and still more the thought that underlies the expression. In other words, we must not take out fragments here and there, and use them as notes in our Bibles, but we must examine the whole body of documents, and acquaint ourselves with their writers. We must learn something definite as to the Assyrian race, with its language, religion, art, and manners, and read its connected history. Thus, and thus only, can we use its writings with advantage.

This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Testament, in the Light of the Historical Records and Legends of Assyria and Babylonia The present work, being merely a record of things for the most part well known to students and others, cannot, on that account, contain much that is new. All that has been aimed at is, to bring together as many of the old discoveries as possible in a new dress. It has been thought well to let the records tell their story as far as possible in their own way, by the introduction of translations, thus breaking the monotony of the narrative, and also infusing into it an element of local colour calculated to bring the reader into touch, as it were, with the thoughts and feelings of the nations with whom the records originated. Bearing, as it does, upon the life, history, and legends of the ancient nations of which it treats, controversial matter has been avoided, and the higher criticism left altogether aside. Assyriology (as the study of the literature and antiquities of the Babylonians and Assyrians is called) being a study still in the course of development, improvements in the renderings of the inscriptions will doubtless from time to time be made, and before many months have passed, things now obscure may have new light thrown upon them, necessitating the revision of such portions as may be affected thereby. It is intended to utilize in future editions any new discoveries which may come to light, and every effort will be made to keep the book up to date. For shortcomings, whether in the text or in the translations, the author craves the indulgence of the reader, merely pleading the difficult and exacting nature of the study, and the lengthy chronological period to which the book refers. A little explanation is probably needful upon the question of pronunciation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religion of Babylonia and Assyria In order that the book may serve as a guide to students, the names of those to whose researches our present knowledge of the subject is due have frequently been introduced, and it will be found, I trust, that I have been fair to all.1 At the same time, I have naturally not hesitated to indicate my dissent from views advanced by this or that scholar, and it will also be found, I trust, that in the course of my studies I have advanced the interpretation of the general theme or of specific facts at various' points. While, therefore, the book is only in a second ary degree sent forth as an original contribution. The discus sion of mooted points will enhance its value, I hope, for the specialist, as well as for the general reader and student for whom, in the first place, the volumes of this series are intended.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Account of Discoveries at Nineveh A general dissertation, such as that contained in the second volume, requires a very extensive ao quaintance with those ancient and modern authors who have written or casually touched upon similar subjects. The necessity of a residence in the coun try, and the consequent absence of books, have pre vented me from consulting many works which might have afforded valuable information, and have ren dered difficult the verification of quotations obtained, in many instances, during hurried visits to London.
