TAILIEUCHUNG - A History of Art in Chaldæa & Assyria, v. 1

The primitive civilization of Chaldæa, like that of Egypt, was cradled in the lower districts of a great alluvial basin, in which the soil was stolen from the sea by long continued deposits of river mud. In the valley of the Tigris and Euphrates, as in that of the Nile, it was in the great plains near the ocean that the inhabitants first emerged from barbarism and organized a civil life. As the ages passed away, this culture slowly mounted the streams, and, as Memphis was older by many centuries than Thebes, in dignity if not in actual existence, so Ur and Larsam were older. | A History of Art in Chaldea Assyria v. 1 by 1 CHAPTER I.

In face of the cordial reception given to the first two volumes of MM. Perrot and Chipiez s History of Ancient Art any words of introduction from me to this second instalment would be presumptuous. On my own part however I may be allowed to express my gratitude for the approval vouchsafed to my humble share in the introduction of the History of Art in Ancient Egypt to a new public and to hope that nothing may be found in the following pages to change that approval into blame.
