Hilprecht’s Babylonian Expedition

Prof. Herman V. Hilprecht, of the editorial staff of the Sunday School Times, is on his way to Babylonia, as the scientific director of the Babylonian expedition of the University of Pennsylvania, and in the interest of the Sunday School Times. Special effort will be put forth in the much-buried city of Nippur, supposed to be identical with Calneh (Gen. 10:10), and the chief place to which Jewish captives were carried by Nebuchadnezzar, the place where Ezekiel had his vision "by the river Chebar." He will also devote some time to other parts of Assyria. His researches will be given exclusively in the Sunday School Times.
