22 (p. 76). Code of Khamurabi. This famous inscription is 

 on a block of black diorite nearly eight feet in height. It was 

 discovered at Susa by the French expedition under M. de 

 Morgan, in December, 1901. We quote the translation given 

 in The Historians' History of the World, edited by Henry Smith 

 Williams, London and New York, 1904, vol. I., p. 510.

 Babylonians and Assyrians, New York, 1902. 



25 (p. 82). George Rawlinson, Great Oriental Monarchies 

 (second edition, London, 1871), vol. III., pp. 75 ff. 



Of the books mentioned above, that of Hommel is particu- 

 larly full in reference to culture development; Goodspeed's 

 small volume gives an excellent condensed account; the orig- 

 inal documents as translated in the various volumes of Records 

 of the Past are full of interest; and Menant's little book is al- 

 together admirable. The work of excavation is still going on 

 in old Babylonia, and newly discovered texts add from time 

 to time to our knowledge, but A. H. Layard's Nineveh and its 

 Remains (London, 1849) still has importance as a record of 

 the most important early discoveries. The general histories 

 of Antiquity of Duncker, Lenormant, Maspero, and Meyer 

 give full treatment of Babylonian and Assyrian development. 

 Special histories of Babylonia and Assyria, in addition to these 

 named above, are Tiele's Babylonisch-Assyrische Geschichte 

 (Zwei Tiele, Gotha, 1886-1888); Winckler's Geschichte Baby- 

 loniens und Assyriens (Berlin, 1885-1888), and Rogers' Jlfs- 

 tory of Babylonia and Assyria, New York and London, 1900,
