Présentation de l'éditeur :
Why all this expense in ransacking to their utmost depths the rubbish heaps of forgotten centuries, where we know neither treasures of gold nor of silver exist? Why this zealous emulation on the part of the nations to secure the greatest possible number of mounds for excavation? And whence, too, that constantly increasing interest, that burning enthusiasm, born of generous sacrifice, now being bestowed on both sides of the Atlantic on the excavations of Babylonia and A ssyria? One answer echoes to all these questions, one answer, which, if not absolutely adequate, is yet largely the reason and consummation of it all: theB ible, A magic halo, woven in earliest youth, encircles the names of Nineveh and Babylon, an irresistible fascination abides for us all in the stories of Belshazzar and theW ise Men of theE ast. The long-lasting dynasties here awakened to new life, however potent for history and civilisation they may have been, would not have aroused a tithe of their present interest, did they not number among them the names of A mraphel, Sennacherib, and Nebuchadnezzar, with whom we have been familiar from childhood.
