This work covers the whole civilization of Babylonia and Assyria, and by
its treatment of the various aspects of that civilization furnishes a
comprehensive and complete survey of the subject. The language, history,
religion, commerce, law, art and literature are thoroughly presented in a
manner of deep interest to the general reader and indispensable to
historians, clergymen, anthropologists and sociologists. The volume is
elaborately illustrated and the pictures have been selected with the
greatest care so as to show every aspect of this civilization, which
alone disputes with that of Egypt, the fame of being the oldest in the
world. For Bible scholars the comparisons with Hebrew traditions and
records will have intense interest.
