The excavations of Sir Austen Henry Layard (1817–94) provided important evidence about ancient Assyrian civilisation. Placing Mesopotamian history in the context of the more familiar biblical and classical worlds, this two-volume illustrated work of 1849 is a combination of archaeology, ancient history, anthropology and travel writing.
