"Taking this only as a book of travels, we have read none for a long time more interesting and instructive."- Quarterly Review.

"We repeat that there has been no such picture in any modern book of travels. Park is not braver or more adventurous, Burkhardt is not more truthful, Eothen not more gay or picturesque than the hero of the book before us.". London Examiner.

"This is, we think, THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY WORK OF THE PRESENT AGE, whether with reference to the wonderful discoveries it describes, its remarkable verification of our early bilbical history, or of the talent, courage, and perseverance of its auWe will only add in conclusion, that in these days, when the fulfilment of prophecy is engaging so much attention, we cannot but consider that the work of Mr. Layard will be found to afford many extraordinary proofs of biblical history."-London Times.

"Of the historical value of his discoveries, too high an estimate can hardly be formed."-N. Y. Recorder. "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 wonderful 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.

"As we follow the diggers with breathless interest in their excavations, and suddenly find ourselves before a massive figure carved with minute accuracy, now lifting its gigantic head from the dust of 3000 years, we are ready to cry out with the astonished Arabs, Wallah, it is wonderful, but it is true!"-Independent.
