Synopsis

Excerpt from Lectures Upon the Assyrian Language, and Syllabary: Delivered to the Students of the Archaic Classes

Secretary of the Society of Biblical Archaeology. Classes in Egyptian and Assyrian were started in the rooms of the Society in the spring of 1875; Mr. Le Page Renouf superintending the first, and myself the second. The three first Lectures on the syllabary embody the' substance of the Lectures delivered in 1875, before an audience which averaged some thirty students; the remaining Lectures occupied the spring of 1876, the second year of the experiment. The success which attended it leads to the hope that English schools of Egyptology and Assyriology may be permanently formed, and the study of the monumental languages of the great nations of antiquity placed on the same footing as the study of Hebrew.
