Excerpt from Dawnings of Light in the East: With Biblical, Historical, and Statistical Notices of Persons and Places Visited During a Mission to the Jews, in Persia, Coordistan, and Mesopotamia The few remarks on Nineveh, Babylon, and Perse polis, might have easily been extended; but, as the object of this work was to combine useful information with accurate missionary intelligence, laboured and elaborate archaeological disquisitions would have re quired more time than the author could spare, or would have been consonant with the object which this work, under the blessing of God, is designed to promote. For the sketches the author is indebted to his wife, who accompanied him last January to Hillah and Babylon; some of them were done whenever leisure or less important occupations allowed her to indulge in a little recreation; they do not pretend to any artistic skill, though they are perfect as regards the accuracy of their delineation. For the map which accompanies the work, he is indebted to the skill and kindness of his friend, Mr. Myers, of the London Society's Hebrew School.
