From the N. Y. Daily Tribune.
“Mr. Smith appears to have engaged in his work with equal ardor, perseverance, and good judgment. His habits as a scholar have not impaired his efficiency as a practical man. The recital of his experience is marked by frankness, modesty, and great intelligence.”
From the St. Louis Democrat.
“The book reveals much of the hitherto hidden history of the Assyrian empire, and shows that its people were wise in many things. The maxims translated from the records, and the curious devices and pictures brought to the earth’s surface, give us a clearer knowledge of the character of the people that inhabited that nation than we have gained from any other source. * * * It is a work of great importance, and will be welcomed by all scholars and antiquaries.”
From the N. Y. Evening Post.
“Mr. Smith’s book is, in clearness and accuracy, all that could be wished; himself a great authority on Assyrian antiquities, he has prepared a work which no person who has studied, or intends to study, this fascinating subject should fail to read.”
