Records of the Past

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Knowledge of the history Of Western Asia, they are hardly less so for the unexpected information they afford to the proper comprehension Of the events in Palestine which preceded the fall of the Jewish king doms, the conquest of Egypt and Cyprus, and the unexpected and important part which the Assyrians played in the history of the world. The materials of this volume, like the preceding, have been prepared by different Assyriologists with great care, and those which have appeared elsewhere have been carefully revised and corrected or retranslated for the present volume. They will be found to be of interest to the students of chronology, history, and comparative.
