Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from A Memoir of Major-General Sir Henry Creswicke Rawlinson, Bart;, K. C. B., F. R. S., D. C. L., F. R. G. S., &C Some apology is perhaps due to the public for the late appearance of this work, which was promised to. Them in 1894, on the death of its subject. But the materials from which it had to be composed were left in so fragmentary and so confused a condition, and the writing was, in many cases, so faded, that a longer time was required for their decipherment and re arrangement than for the actual writing of the Memoir. The mass of papers to be examined was enormous to a large extent they were confused and intermixed; the handwriting was often so minute as to require the use of a powerful magnifier; and in some cases it was absolutely illegible. These facts necessitated a con siderable delay, while the author's other employments and avocations did not leave him very much leisure time for literary labour. Some further delay was caused by the inability of Lord Roberts, owing to a pressure of business in his department, to furnish the chapter which he had promised by way of Introduction to the Memoir, and which it was felt that the work would be incomplete without. In executing his task the author has endeavoured to make Sir Henry Rawlinson, as much as possible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Sir Henry Creswicke Rawlinson, (born April 11, 1810, Chadlington, Oxfordshire, Eng.-died March 5, 1895, London), British army officer and Orientalist who deciphered the Old Persian portion of the trilingual cuneiform inscription of Darius I the Great at Bīsitūn, Iran. His success provided the key to the deciphering, by himself and others, of Mesopotamian cuneiform script, a feat that greatly expanded knowledge of the ancient Middle East.In 1827 Rawlinson went to India as a British East India Company cadet, and in 1833 he and other British officers were sent to Iran to reorganize the shah's army. There he became keenly interested in Persian antiquities, and deciphering the cuneiform inscriptions at Bīsitūn became his goal. After two years of work, Rawlinson published his translations of the first two paragraphs of the inscription (1837). Required to leave the country because of friction between Iran and Britain, Rawlinson was nevertheless able to return in 1844 to obtain impressions of the Babylonian script. As a result, his Persian Cuneiform Inscription at Behistun appeared (1846-51); it contained a complete translation, analysis of the grammar, and notes-altogether an achievement yielding valuable information on the history of ancient Persia and its rulers. With other scholars he succeeded in deciphering the Mesopotamian cuneiform script by 1857. The way to understanding ancient Babylonia and Assyria and much of biblical history now lay open.Meanwhile Rawlinson had become British consul at Baghdad (1843) and had given his collection of antiquities to the British Museum (1849-51). He became consul general at Baghdad (1851) and succeeded the archaeologist Henry Austen Layard in the work of obtaining ancient sculptures for the museum. On resigning his post with the British East India Company (1855), he was knighted and made a crown director of the company. He sat in Parliament (1858 and 1865-68) and was minister to the Iranian court at Tehrān (1859). His other writings include A Commentary on the Cuneiform Inscriptions of Babylonia and Assyria (1850) and Outline of the History of Assyria (1852).
