From the Atish Kadah, 
By EDWARD B. EASTWICK, F.R.S., M.R.A.S., &c. 
The Gulistan of Sddi has attained a popularity in the East which, perhaps, has never been 
reached by any European work in this Western world. The schoolbov lisps out his first lesson in 
it; the man of learning quotes it ; and avast number of its expressions have become proverbial. 
When we consider, indeed, the time at which it was written-—the first half of the thirteenth 
century—a time when gross darkness brooded over Europe, at least—darkness which might havz 
been, but alas! was not felt—the justness of many of its sentiments, and the glorious views of the 
Divine attributes contained tn it, are truly remarkable. —EXTRACT FROM PREFACE.

THE HISTORY OF ESARHADDON 
(Son OF SENNACHERIB), KING OF ASSYRIA B,C, 681—668. 
Translated from the Cuneiform Inscriptions upon Cylinders and Tablets in the British Museum 
Collection. Together with Original Texts, a Grammatical Analysis of each Word, 
Explanations of the Ideographs by Extracts from the Bi-Lingual Syllabaries, and List of 
Eponyms, &c. 
By ERNEST A. BUDGE, M.R.A.S., 
Assyrian Exhibitioner, Christ’s College, Cambridge, Member of the Society of Biblical Archeology. 
The histories of Sennacherib and Assur-bani-pal, kings of Assyria, have already been 
swritten by the late Mr. George Smith. Sennacherib ruled over Assyria from B.C. 705 to B.C. 681; 
Assur-bani-pal from B.C. 668 to B.C. 626. But from B.C. 681 to B.C. 668 a king called 
Esarhaddon reigned, and the annals of this king have been translated to form the present history. 
Esarhaddon was the son of Sennacherib, and father of Assur-bani-pal, These were certainly 
three of the greatest kings that ever ruled over Assyria. Their reigns, taken together, cover 
nearly eighty years; but an exact idea of the influence that this family had upon Assyria can 
only be made out clearly from the records and documents which they themselves caused to be written.
