Book Description
Excerpt from Social Life Among the Assyrians and Babylonians The chapters composing this little volume originally appeared in the Sunday at Home. It was my intention on their republication to add translations of the chief original documents referred to. But on further consideration, bear ing in mind the general scope of the by-path' Series, I have decided that it is better to print.

Book Description
Excerpt from Babylonians and Assyrians: Life and Customs The object of this series is to present, in brief and compact form, a knowledge of the more important facts in the history of this family in a way that will be serviceable to students in colleges, universities, and theological seminaries, to the clergy, and to intel ligent lay readers. It has been the good fortune of the Editor and Publishers to secure the interest and co-operation of scholars who are fitted by their special knowledge of the subjects entrusted to them. Works written on Semitic subjects by those whose knowledge is gained from other than the original sources are sure to be defective in many ways. It is only the specialist whose knowledge enables him to take a comprehen sive view of the entire field in which he labors who is able to gain the perspective necessary for the produc tion of a general work which will set forth promi uently, and in their proper relations, the salient and most interesting facts.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Religion of Babylonia and Assyria By Whom followed-it was the faith of two distinct peoples - the sumero-akkadians, and the asse-babylonians. In what country it had its beginnings is unknown - it comes before us, even at the earliest period, as a faith already well developed, and from that fact, as well as from the names of the numerous deities, it is clear that it began with the former race - the Sumero Akkadians-who spoke a non-semitic language largely affected by phonetic decay, and in which the grammatical forms had in certain cases become confused to such an extent that those who study it ask themselves whether the people who spoke it were able to understand each other without recourse to devices such as the 'tones' to which the Chinese resort. With few exceptions, the names of the gods which the Inscriptions'reveal to us are all derived from this non-semitic language, which furnishes us with satisfactory etymologies for such names as Merodach, N ergal, Sin, and the divinities mentioned in Berosus and Damascius (see pp. 32, 41, as well as those of hundreds of deities revealed to us by the tablets and slabs Of Babylonia and Assyria.
