A VIEW OF THE RUINS OF BABYLON 



"To us the time of Abraham seems almost incredibly distant, and we can scarcely bring 

 ourselves to believe that civilized life was actually possible then; but the Code of Hammurabi 

 is sufficient to assure us that in Babylonia, at all events, life in Abraham's days was practically 

 as thoroughly organized and as carefully regulated as it is in our own" (see page 141).
