The philologist Archibald Henry Sayce (1845–1933) had studied Middle Eastern languages and scripts since adolescence. These engaging lectures, given in 1875 and 1876, were first published in 1877. They take students through the syllabary, phonology, pronouns, verbs and syntax of Assyrian, helping to overcome 'repellent difficulties'.
