The British archaeologist Layard (1817–1894) discovered important evidence about ancient Mesopotamia and the Assyrian civilisation. This 1853 book describes his second expedition, which led to the identification of Kouyunjik as the Assyrian capital Nineveh. Volume 1 covers early stages of the excavations and Layard's journey to the Khabur region.
