A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

From the Study of the Flora of the Assyrian Monuments, there grew the study of an imposing object of veneration the Assyrian sacred tree ;and from the study of this, there grew that of the Assyrian horns, which form a prominent feature of that tree ;and thus there grew these miscellaneous pages, which I have called The Flora of the Assyrian Monuments, and its Outcomes. This book is like a telescope, in which one tube comes out of another tube I have endeavoured to make my telescope as short as possible, for fear of wearying the reader. Some repetitions have occurred, which could not well have been avoided, and which are of little consequence ;at other times they are useful; they impress the point on the readers attention. The illustrations might have been better ;but the moment you begin to use modern art to make ancient art prettier, you begin to lose the very thing you dont want to lose, viz. the rudeness, by which they gave form to their crude ideas.
