Excerpt from The Ancient East Historic, relating to a time much earlier than is reached by respectable literary tradition of Elam and Babylonia, though their civilizations were probably older than the Egyptian. For the Ancient East as here understood, we possess two bodies of historic literary tradition and two only, the Greek and the Hebrew; and as it happens, both (though each is independent of the other) lose consistency and credibility when they deal with history before 1000 b.c. Moreover, Prof. Myres has covered the prehistoric period in the East in his brilliant Dawn of History. Therefore, on all accounts, in treat ing of the historic period, I am absolved from looking back more than a thousand years before our era.

Excerpt from The Life of the Ancient East: Being Some Chapters of the Romance of Modern Excavation The sites chosen for study have not been taken at random, as might appear on a casual glance. Each one finds its place here because of some special contribution which it made in bygone days to human knowledge and culture, or else because of some special advance of our knowledge of the past which has resulted from its excavation. Thus, to take instances, Babylon has its place, not only because of its ancient greatness, but because of the inestimable value to the human race of its venerable system of Law, revealed by the discovery of the Code of Hammurabi; Abydos, not only because it was the chief seat of that form of faith which expressed the Egyptian's invincible yearning for immortality, but also because its excavation has given back to us the centuries which went before the dawn of History in Egypt and Gezer, because its very Obscurity has enabled it to pre serve for us, almost unbroken, the evidence of the strange sequence of races which strove for dominion in the most interesting land on earth.

Excerpt from The Ancient Empires of the East Before learning, however, what it is that the monuments have to teach us, we must form a clear idea of the worth of the information about the nations of the East, which we have received from classical antiquity. We need only compare the following chapters with a work on ancient history, like that of Rollin, founded entirely on the statements of Greek and Latin authors, to see how different - nay, how inconsistent they are. If the one is true, the other cannot be. If the record of the contemporaneous monument is correct, we must give up our faith in the legends of a later age, reported by writers who scorned to know an oriental language.

Excerpt from Light From the Ancient East: The New Testament Illustrated by Recently Discovered d104s of the Graeco-Roman World The printing of the second German edition began while the author was in the East, and by his desire I saw the work through the press. His return relieved me of responsi bility, but my duties as proof-reader remained unaltered, so that for several months the whole of my leisure time was devoted to this work. My translation came to a standstill, but I acquired particular acquaintance with the original. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Unvarying East, Modern Scenes and Ancient Scriptures This latest indulgence of mine in the bad habit of writing books should be excused, because whatever else "The Unvarying East" is it is not long-winded. It is intended for those who have not opportunities of travelling or time to read large volumes on Eastern manners and customs. It is true that people nowadays are more inclined to read about great books, including the Bible, than to read great books themselves, but it is also true that he who only knows the Bible does not the Bible know. The ignorance of the Bible that prevails is so great that I am not surprised at an experience related by Sir Ernest Shackleton. To a little waiting-maid who brought to him tea one morning he said, "'What a rainy day, Mary! It's almost like the Flood.' 'The Flood, sir?' said the little maid. She looked at me with a puzzled smile. 'Yes, ' said I. 'The Flood - Noah, you know - the Ark - Mount Ararat.' She shook her head, and murmured apologetically, 'I ain't had no time to read the papers lately, sir.'" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Story of Extinct Civilizations of the East Ptolemaios, the Greek name of the King Ptolemy. Each symbol represents a letter, viz., the initial letter of the name of the object pictured. The objects in order are - a mat, a half-circle, a noose, a lion, a hole, two reeds, and a chair-back. The first object (mat, or door according to some) =p, that being the first letter of the Egyptian word the noose or 100p=o; the lion=z or r; the object under the lion represents a hole, the first letter of the name in Egyptian being m; the last object=s. The language of the hieroglyphs is generally Coptic rather than ancient Egyptian. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
