Excerpt from The Babylonian Expedition of the University of Pennsylvania, Vol. 1: Series D: Researches and Treatises Explorations in Bible Lands during the Nineteenth Century. This volume was issued with the hope of both authors and publishers that it might help to fill a serious gap in our modern literature by presenting in a systematic but popular form a fascinating subject, equal in importance to the Bible student, historian, archaeologist and philologist. The fact that the book witnessed seven editions before the close of the first year, was evidence that the hopes cherished had been realized beyond expectation. The cordial reception accorded to the volume, both in the United States and in Europe, was not only most gratifying and encouraging to its authors, but to a certain degree must be regarded as indicative of a sincere sympathy on the part of the public with the exploration of ancient sites in distant Oriental countries.
