Excerpt from Discoveries in the Ruins of Nineveh and Babylon: With Travels in Armenia, Kurdistan and the Desert, Being the Result of a Second Expedition Undertaken for the Trustees of the British MuseumI am aware that several distinguished French scholars, amongst whom I may mention my friends, M. Botta and M. De Saulcy, have contributed to the successful decipher ing of the Assyrian inscriptions. Unfortunately I have been unable to consult the published results of their inves tigations. If, therefore, I should have overlooked in any instance their claims to prior discovery, I have to express my regret for an error arising from ignorance, and not from any unworthy national prejudice.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
