The excavations of Sir Austen Henry Layard (1817-94) provided important evidence about ancient Assyrian civilisation. Placing Mesopotamian history in the context of the more familiar biblical and classical worlds, this two-volume illustrated work of 1849 is a combination of archaeology, ancient history, anthropology and travel writing.
