Excerpt from Records of the Past, Vol. 12: Being English Translations of the Assyrian and Egyptian Monuments
The present volume, which completes the present series, closes the translations of the principal Assyrian and Egyptian texts. Those which here appear are equal in interest to the others which have gone before, but many that have been discovered have not found a place in the present work, and necessitate the production of a new series, which might be undertaken if the idea was favourably entertained by the translators. It has been already pointed out the great benefit which the "Records Of The Past" have conferred on the advance of the researches into ancient Oriental mythology and literature, by laying before the general reader results obtained by the labours of all the leading students into the philology and inscriptions of the greatest Eastern nations of antiquity.
