A NATAL BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY

LIEUTENANT. FROM OFFICIAL AND FAMILY DOCUMENTS.
BY W. R. O'BYRNE, ESQ.
Royal 8vo. Forming a Necessary Companion to the Peerage.
THE WORKS OF HORACE.
With an Original Life.
BY THE REV. H. H. 1ILMAN.
With Views of the Localities, Vignettes from Antique Statues, Gems, Coins, Vases,
Coloured Titles, Borders, &c.
Crown 8vo.
THE MONUMENTS OF NINEVEH.
ILLUSTRATED IN ICO PLATES ON STEEL FROM DBAWINGS MADE ON THE SPOT
BY HENRY AUSTEN LAYARD, ESQ.
It is proposed to publish a Selection from the Drawings made by Mr. Layard, of
Sculptures, Bas-reliefs, and other objects discovered during excavations carried on by him
among the ruins of Nineveh and other ancient Cities of Assyria. Plans of the Buildings,
and Views of the principal Mounds enclosing them examined by Mr. Layard, together with
Drawings of Ornaments and various small objects of considerable interest, in ivory, bronze,
and other materials, will be included in the work.
The Drawings are in outline, and will be carefully engraved as nearly as possible in
fae-simile.
The Monuments of Assyria are highly important as illustrative of the history, manners,
and civilization of one of the earliest and most powerful Empires of Asia. They are no less
interesting, as furnishing a link hitherto wanting, in the history of Art; and to the Biblical
Scholar they are of the highest value, as elucidating and corroborating many passages of
Holy Writ.
Some of the Sculptures, of which Drawings will be published, have been secured for the
British Nation, and will, it is hoped, be placed ere long in the National collection ; but the
greater number were too much injured to bear removal, and have fallen to pieces since their
discovery. Of the latter these Drawings are the sole record, and it is alone by publishing
them that the Monuments of a people that has perished from the face of the globe, all traces
of whom were supposed to be lost, can be preserved.
The Engravings will be accompanied by short descriptions of the Monuments.
One handsome Folio Volume.
