Excerpt from The Religion of Babylonia and Assyria, Especially in Its Relations to Israel: Five Lectures Delivered at Harvard UniversityIN the month of July, 1908, I delivered at Harvard University, in the Summer School Of Theology, five lectures which are now put into this little book. They are printed substantially as they were delivered, though a few passages have been several times rewritten in an earnest endeavor after lucidity and cogency. I am grateful to my Harvard colleagues for this pleasant opportunity to associate myself for even a brief season with a great school Of scholars with whom my relations have always been friendly, and from whom I have had much stimulus and not a little encouragement. But for their courteous invitation I should probably not have turned aside from other labors to write this little essay.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
