An apology is due to the reader for the late appearance of this second volume. Various causes have contributed to delay its completion. The character of the work which demanded the utmost care in printing, the immense labour required in re-editing the glossary and in adapting the great number of references therein contained to the English edition *, the appearance of new treatises or articles on Assyriology and lastly the heavy and continuous pressure of my own engagements as a college tutor have all cooperated to defer the fulfilment of my task. It is hoped that the reader will recognize the compensating advantages of com- pleteness and accuracy which have entailed much additional trouble and expense in publication. It will be found that due note has been taken of the important contributions to Assyriology which have appeared during the last three years. Fried. Delitzsch's Assyrische Lesestiicke (3'''^ ed.), Zimmern's Busspsalmen , Jeremias' new edition of Istar's Descent to Hades (in his "Vorstellungen vom Leben nach dem Tode") as well as Prof. Sayce's Hibbert Lectures on Babylonian * We take this opportunity of calling the reader's attention to the notice at the beginning of the Glossary. The numerals refer to the page-numbers of the German edition retained in the margin of the Eng- lish work; when another numeral follows, it refers to the line of in- scription cited. In the Indexes the page-numbers similarly refer to the pagination of the Orerman edition. VI Religion have been frequently cited or referred-to in this second volume of the English work. In the glossary as well as in the 'Additions and Corrections' reference has been made to Dr. Craig's recently edited transcription and translation of the Monolith-Inscription of Salmanassar II (Hebraica, July 1887). I have once more the pleasure of acknowledging the ever ready and helpful kindness of Prof.
