T HE PLAN of this publication, which was under- taken in 1891, chiefly by the advice of DR. BUDGE,

Keeper of the Department of Egyptian and

Assyrian Antiquities of the British Museum, is to collect and to arrange according to the names of the scribes, all the Letters of THE KOUYUNJIK COLLECTIONS OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM. The texts

alone will occupy sixteen to eighteen volumes, and the trans-

literations, translations, and glossary, at least as many more. The texts are printed in the cuneiform type of Messrs. Harri- son & Sons, of London.

Part VIII appears as Volume IV, Second Series, of the Decennial Publications of The University of Chicago. For a complete statement of the plan of publication see the Preface to this volume.



Some cReview Notices of Parts I to VIII "The Assyriologist will welcome them

with gratitude, for they offer him a mass of new material which has been carefully copied and well printed, and which cannot fail to yield important results."-Athe- naeumn.

"The scientific and systematic study of the Assyrian Letters was for the first time made possible to students in general through this publication. . . There is

no section of Assyrian literature which re- quires more patient, systematic, and well- directed labor for the solution of its prob- lems. But it is not too much to expect that ultimately these Letter tablets, on ac- count of their number, the variety of their contents, and the light which they throw upon the everyday side of life, will con- tribute much material of great value for the real history of Assyria and Babylonia." -GEORGE RICKER BERRY (Colgate Univer- sity) in Hebraica.

"Die sogenannten Briefe dieser Samm- lung gehbren, was die paldographische Seite betrifft, zu ihren schwierigsten Par- tieen, und dieser Umstand mag wohl die Schuld daran tragen, dass ihnen bis jetzt nicht die gebiihrende Aufmerksamkeit ge- schenkt worden ist. ... Dass die neue Edition auch sonst lexicographische und grammatikalische Ausbeute bringen wird, braucht kaum hervorgehoben zu werden..

. . Jedenfalls ist es Referent hocherfreu- lich constatieren zu k6nnen, dass mit dem vorliegenden Buche endlich auch ein ame- rikanischer Assyriologe die Wissenschaft um den ersten Theil eines hervorragenden Werkes bereichert hat." . . . -CARL

.3EZOLD (Heidelberg University) in the

Zeitschrift fiir die Kunde des Morgen- landes (Vienna).

"The author has done his work carefully and well. In difficult texts, however, it is almost impossible to secure accuracy at every point. We have collated twenty-five of these Letters, and have found very few instances where we would venture a different reading. In all the instances where

the author has differed from his predeces- sors his readings are preferable. The Uni- versity of Chicago Press is to be congratulated on the general appearance and typo- graphical execution of this book, the first to bear its imprimatur, and, especially, because its first work is a pledge of its interest in scientific study.-J. A. CRAIG (Uni- versity of Michigan) in Hebraica.

"The care and accuracy with which he edits all his texts are well known, but of course he claims no infallibility as to the traces of broken characters. Nothing but a knowledge of duplicates, or the recog- nition of a well-known phrase, can give certainty in such cases. But duplicates of these Letters rarely occur. Besides, in many cases the characters are rubbed, de- faced, filled with dirt, and otherwise illegi- ble. Despite all of these drawbacks, the edition of these texts leaves little to be desired. ... These few notes may serve to call attention to the importance from all points of view of this unique collection of Assyrian texts, which, difficult as they are to understand fully, are a veritable mine of information." - C. H. W. JOHNS

(Queen's College, Cambridge) in the Pro- ceedings of the Society of Biblical Archle- ology.

"The value of the Letters and Des- patches to students of Assyriology is not easily overestimated. They frequently sup- plement the historical inscriptions with valuable details, and, in some instances, are the only source of information in re- gard to important events; they cast much light upon the administrative methods of the Assyrian government, and upon the practical workings of the state religion; and, although with a few exceptions of an official character, they furnish valuable information concerning Assyro-Babylonian life and customs. From the standpoint of philology they constitute a rich mine, yielding a wealth of material to be found in no other class of cuneiform texts. At first, owing to the superior attractior s of



the historical, religious, grammatical, and lexicographical texts, the Letter tablets were little studied, and it is only within the last fifteen years that they have their due share of attention. .... To Harper belongs the credit of conceiving and carrying into execution the plan of publishing a complete Corpus of Assyrian and

Babylonian Letters, thus making the whole mass of these interesting texts available for study. The first volume of Harper's Letters appeared in I892, and five volumes have now been published, containing in all, 538 texts edited with great care and skill, and printed in a manner that leaves

nothing to be desired."-CHRIsTOPHER

JOHNSTON (Johns Hopkins University) in the American Journal of Philology.

"Harper's book is an excellent specimen of the work done in the field of Assyri- ology in America and he is greatly to be congratulated on the careful way in which he has copied and edited the new texts which offer many fresh points for consideration to students of history and soci-

ology, especially such as are interested in oriental manners and customs."-LuzAc'S Oriental List.

"Harper has for years worked at his task with extraordinary zeal and patience; and with the present volume his carefully prepared edition of the clay correspond- ence of the kings of Assyria stored in the British Museum reaches over 8oo Letters. It would be difficult to estimate what is the value, from many points of view, of these ancient documents to the historian, for they admit us 'behind the scenes,' and not infrequently give a new and very different

complexion to the events which appear in the official inscriptions. The task of edit- ing these Letters is not that of the in- genious Chinese copyist; it is one requir- ing not only great familiarity with the language but exact judgment, inasmuch as the script is often very strange and ab- breviated, while the vernacular idiom largely employed adds to the difficulties of the work. Harper has certainly tri- umphed over these in an admirable manner and his patient perseverance should earn the gratitude of all Semitic scholars."--

Glasgow (Scotland) Herald. "It is only through a complete edition

of the whole collection that what has thus been considered undecipherable will be eventually explained. There are numerous words and idioms in the Letters which are obscure only because our acquaintance with the branch of Assyrian literature to which they belong is meager. When Dr. Harper's work is finished, not only will the Assyrian lexicon and grammar be materially en- riched, we shall also be able to translate texts which now are a mystery for us, and to discover historical and other facts which may set the history of the past in a new light."-A. H. SAYCE (Oxford) in The Academy.

"The work has been performed with great care and accuracy. . . The cuneiform texts contained in it will prove to be a rich mine of information for the future historian of the ancient East."-A. H. SAYCE (Oxford) in The Critical Review.

"Der vorliegende erste Band der Samm- lung assyrischer und babylonischer Briefe aus dem Britischen Museum erbiffnet ffir die Assyriologen eine neue Fundgrube von Materialien fiir eine wissenschaftliche Be- handlung von Einzelfragen, von deren L-sung die richtige Beurtheilung der wei- teren Ergebnisse der assyriologischen For- schung nicht unbedeutend beeinflusst wird. Der Herausgeber arbeitet riistig und plan- miissig an der Fortsetzung des Werkes, hat den zweiten Band bereits fertiggestellt und hofft in nicht allzuferner Zukunft auch den dritten und vierten Band der Texte mit erlhuterndem Commentar und Wfrter- buch zum Abschlusse zu bringen. Damit

erhilt die Assyriologie ein monumentales Werk, das geeignet ist, beim 8iffentlichen wie beim Privatunterricht als Grundlage fiir die Einfiihrung zu diesen Studien zu dienen und das der neuen Universitfit Chi- cago, auf deren Kosten es unternommen ist, alle Ehre machen wird."

"Jetzt endlich haben wir in diesem vorliegenden ersten Bande in einer muster- haften Ausgabe 124 Briefe, die sich so vertheilen: . . . Durch eine solche Zu- sammenstellung wird endlich die M-glich- keit geboten, den Inhalt der Briefe zu



erschliessen und eine Erklidrung anzubah-

nen, da einzelne Briefe ohne Kenntniss der

Verhiltnisse und der Umstiinde der Schreiber fiir uns wohl immer ein Geheim- niss geblieben wiren."-Pater J. N. STRASSMAIER (London) in the Zeitschrift

fiir Assyriologie VIII.

"The Letters in the Kouyunjik Collec- tion in the British Museum are several hundreds in number, and when Professor Harper undertook to make their contents known to the world, both by the publication of the original texts and by English translations of them, he set himself no light task. In the course of his work he found a very large number of fragments of Letters, which he decided, and we think wisely, to include in his Corpus, and it needs comparatively little study to find that the contents of such fragments fully justify his decision. Moreover, the information derived from one fragment sup- plements that found in another, and the identity of the scribe can often be established, even when his name is missing in the fragment. Curious expressions, due to individual peculiarities of the writers, as well as unusual words and idioms, are also excellent clues as to the identity of unknown writers, but such minutia of As- syrian epistolary composition could never have been traced without a comprehensive

publication of Letters, such as those with which Professor Harper now provides us. The student of these hundreds of texts will greatly appreciate the form which has been given to the edition; the texts are printed in Messrs. Harrison's excellent cuneiform type, and the leaves are printed on one side only. . . . Professor Harper is to be congratulated, not only on having secured an excellent subject upon which to work, but also on having recognized its true importance, and on the careful way in which he has set out to do justice to it." -R. CAMPBELL THOMPSON (British Muse- um) in The American Journal of Semitic Languages and Literature.

".. . L'ambition de M. Harper est autre et c'est un veritable Corpus des let- tres assyriennes et babyloniennes que formera l'ouvrage complet; on ne saurait savoir assez de gr" & M. H. d'avoir entre- pris et mener a bien un travail aussi con- sid&rable. Il est fort heureux qu'on re- nonce de plus en plus aux melanges et aux morceaux

choisis."--FRANCOIS THUREAU-

DANGIN in Revue Critique. "The immense utility of this undertaking

is too obvious to require any comment, and the author, who has already spent eleven years upon it, hopes to continue publishing the texts until the Corpus Epistolarum is completed."-L. in the Asiatic Quarterly Review.

Ai 25-CENT MAGAZINE FOR 10 CENTS

THE WORLD TO DAY

.

REDUCED IN PRICE, BUT NOT IN QUALITY ": EGINNING with the July issue the price of THE WORLD

TO-DAY will be reduced to Ten Cents per copy or One Dollar 3 - for yearly subscriptions paid in advance. In making this announcement the publishers are but carrying out the original plans formed at the inception of the enterprise, to give the largest and best magazine possible to produce for the money. ? The success of the many splendid magazines in the fiction field at Ten Cents

per copy is convincing proof of the increasing demand for good literature at a popular price. The publishers of THE WORLD TO-DAY can see no good reason why the magazines treating of the realities of life should not be sold for the same money. All other magazines in its class are now selling at Twenty-Five Cents per copy. THE WORLD TO-DAY therefore is the pioneer in its field to adopt a Ten Cent price.

THE WORLD TO-DAY has achieved a success that was deemed impossible for any magazine to attain in the Western field. From the start it has had certain definite aims and purposes from which it has never deviated. It has been our aim to instruct as well as to entertain; to furnish monthly the latest information in every department of human progress, presented in such a form that it would be a help and an inspiration to busy men and women who \ have not time for extensive reading. In carrying out our ideals it has become daily more apparent that a Twenty-Five Cent price is a bar to our reaching a large number of the very people we desire to benefit. We are convinced that there are hundreds of thousands of young men and women, ministers, teachers, business men, and people in all walks of life who want such information as we are furnishing yet do not feel that they can afford a high-priced magazine.

THE WORLD TO-DAY has a wider mission and wishes to reach a larger constituency than is possible for any Twenty-Five Cent Magazine.

The reduction in price does not mean an inferior magazine. The present high standard will be fully maintained, and it is our purpose to do even better. Every issue will contain at least 128 pages and over ioo illustrations, many being in colors.

THE WORLD TO-DAY at Twenty-Five Cents has been considered excellent value. At Ten Cents it is the best bargain ever offered in the magazine field. If you are not familiar with it look it up at your dealers or send

,' Ten Cents for a sample copy. Remember, you get a Twenty-Five Cent Maga- zine, and good value at that, for but ONE DOLLAR A YEAR.

The Code of Hammurabi KING OF BABYLON ABOUT 2250 B.C.

Edited by ROBERT FRANCIS HARPER, Professor of the Semitic Languages and Literatures in the University of Chicago

PART I, SECOND EDITION The best proof of the popularity of a book is its continued sale. If a work meets a popular

demand, public interest in it is cumulative ; the narrow circle of its first friends widens and soon extends over states and countries. This has been our experience with The Code of Hammurabi. The collection of these ancient laws of Babylon presents material of the greatest value to those interested in social institutions, and contains many laws that in a modified form appear today upon our statute books. Students are giving this code most serious consideration, and many are undertak-

ing a critical and comparative study of the details. The edition that we have put out is ideal for such use, as it contains an autographed text of the original inscription, a transliteration, and a

very careful translation, all fully indexed and arranged in convenient form.

OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO HISTORIANS, because the habits, customs, and traditions of the ancient Babylon- ians are crystallized in these laws; the direct light thrown upon social conditions makes it possible to piece together a very satisfactory narrative leading up to the promulgation of the code.

JURISTS will find a wealth of material bearing on all sorts of civil and criminal contro- versies; also curious survivals of primitive customs, and many sections showing transitional stages in legal procedure.

ECONOM ISTS will find very elaborate provisions bearing on property rights, wages, land rents, interest, prices, transportation, irrigation, building, and many other interesting features indicative of advanced economic conditions.

SOCIOLOGISTS will be surprised at the advanced stage and complexity of social institutions in ancient Babylon. Slavery was well established and hedged about with many elaborate legal provisions. The status of master and servant is carefully defined. The position of husband and wife is discussed at great length. The army was highly organized. 4

THEOLOGIANS will find in this code many similarities to that July

of Israel and also marked contrasts. The two codes are written in the same A

literary style and present not a few cases of actual verbal agreement. A Pleasesend critical comparison of the two will be found very interesting. 0 m Please send

The Recovery and Re- statement of the Gospel

By LORAN D. OSBORN

254 pp., 12mo, cloth, net, $1.50; postpaid, $x.6o

. Does any man want a footing for his faith? Does he want some-

thing to start with, an authority, however limited in range, that is

really authoritative ? Dr. Osborn wanted all that. He went to the New Testament and found it in the historical study of that book. He tells us what he found, sin-

cerely and persuasively. It is one of the best books of real apologetic recently published. - Expository Times.

The Virgin Birth By T. ALLAN HOBEN

88 pp., royal 8vo, paper, net, 5oc; postpaid, 57c

Dr. Hoben has rendered the church valuable service by his critical, impartial, and original study of this question in the light of the sources of the first three centuries. His conclusions will aid scholars in a proper estimate of the signifi- cance of the story of the virgin birth in the history of doctrine and in systems of dogmatics. Every interested student should read this

essay and follow the numerous quo- tations and references given by the author to substantiate his inferences. -Reformed Church Review.

The Kingdom of God in the Writings of the Fathers

By HENRY MARTYN HERRICK

ii8 pp., royal 8vo, paper, net, 5oc; postpaid, 57c

Dr. Herrick undertakes to answer the two following questions: "What was understood by the Kingdom of God in the early Christian centuries ?" and " To what extent was the New Testament usage followed, and wherein was it departed from ?" He allows the writings themselves to answer the first question, and he himself answers the second by concluding that there is on the whole in the writings a surprising conformity to the teaching of Scripture. In fact, I)r. Herrick goes so far as to say that " it may be ques- tioned whether any great Christian doctrine has suffered less in its trans- mission through the age of the Fathers." This is a scholarly treatise for the study of the Kingdom as it was held by the early Church.-The Auburn Seminary Review.
