This volume gives many photographic illustrations of the tablets that the investigators and archeologists have been rescuing from the archives of old Babylonia and Assyria. The object is to give an English translation of the whole body of documents illustrating the religion, culture, and history that developed contemporaneously with that of the Old Testament in those Eastern countries. There is besides, a great deal of study and research evidenced in the outline of history that accompanies the translations, and which is written in an easy style. Because of the reproductions of these originals and the history connected therewith, the book is very valuable for those who are interested in the study of those ancient times, the history of which is so closely interwoven with that of Bible lands and peoples.
