"Taking this only as a book of travels, we
have read none for along time more interesting
and instructive."—Quarterly Review.
"We repeat that there has been no such pic-
ture in any modern book of travels. Park is not
braver or more adventurous, Burkhardt is not
more truthful, Eothen not more gay or pictu-
resque than the hero of the book before us."—
London Examiner.
" This is, we think, THE MOST EXTRA-
ORDINARY WORK OF THE PRESENT
AGE, whether with reference to the wonderful
discoveries it describes, its remarkable verifi-
cation of our early bilbical history, or of the
talent, courage, and perseverance of its au-
thor. •** *•. We will only add in
conclusion, that in these days, when the f jlfil-
ment of prophecy is engaging so much tten-
lion, we cannot but consider that the work of
Mr. Layard will be found to afford many ex-
traordinary proofs of biblical history.3'- Lon-

" Of the historical value of his discoveries, too
high an estimate can hardly be formed."—^.

"It has been truly said, that the narrative is like a romance. In its incidents and descriptions it
does indeed remind one continually of an Arabian tale of wonders and genii."—Dr. Robinson in
Introductory Note.
"The work of Mr. Layard has two prominent and distinct characters. Its narration of wonder-
ful discoveries is of high and absorbing interest; but as a book of modern travels, abounding in
living and piquant descriptions of the manners and habits of a people always regarded with intense
interest, it is second to none."—Democratic Review.
"The book has a rare amount of graphic, vivid, picturesque narrative."— Tribune.
"The work of Layard is the most prominent contribution to the study of Antiquity, that has
appeared for many years."—Christian Inquirer.
" Not one excels in interest the account of Nineveh and its Ruins, given by Mr. Layard."—
Washington Intelligencer.
