NINEVEH AND ITS REMAINS: being a Narrative of Researches and Discoveries
amidst the Ruins of Assyria. With an Account of the Chaldean Christians of
Kurdistan; the Yezidis, or Devil-worshippers; and an Enquiry into the
Manners and Arts of the Ancient Assyrians. By AUSTEN H. LAYARD, D.C.L.
"This is, we think, the most extraordinary work of the present age,
whether with reference to the wonderful discoveries it describes, its
remarkable verification of our early biblical history, or the talent,
courage, and perseverance of its author. We have had our Bruces and
Mungo Parks, as well as our Parrys, Franklins, Backs, and Rosses, but
we question whether a more enlightened or a more enterprising traveller
than Mr. Layard is to be met with in the annals of our modern English
history."--_From the_ TIMES.
JOHN MURRAY, Albemarle Street.
