Assyrian Grammar. An Elementary Grammar and Reading-Book of the Assyrian Language, in the Cuneiform Character: containing the most complete Syllabary yet extant, and which will serve also as a Vocabulary of both Accadian and Assyrian. Second Edition, Revised and Corrected. By the Rev. A. H. Sayce, M.A., Deputy Professor of Comparative Philology, Oxford. 4to. Cloth, 7s. 6d.
"Mr. Sayce's new Assyrian Grammar will be of great value."—Athenæum.
"We doubt not that this book will be gladly welcomed on all sides."—Academy.
Assyrian Texts. Being Extracts from the Annals of Shalmaneser II., Sennacherib, and Assur-bani-pal. With Philological Notes by Ernest A. Budge, M.R.A.S., Assyrian Exhibitioner, Christ College, Cambridge. 4to. Cloth extra, 7s. 6d.
"Mr. Budge's book forms part of the useful series known as the 'Archaic Classics,' and consists of a reading-book intended for those who have already mastered the elements of Assyrian grammar. … The texts have been selected and edited with great care, variant readings being noted at the bottom of the page, and the explanatory notes at the end reflect much credit upon the author. They will be found very helpful by the beginner. Type and paper leave nothing to be desired. We hope that this and the other volumes of the same series will attract an increasing number of scholars to the study of Assyrian. Its close relationship to Hebrew cannot but clear up many obscure points in Hebrew philology, since words which occur but once or twice in the Old Testament are not unfrequently of common occurrence in the Assyrian texts. … In fact, it is no longer possible to deal with questions of Semitic philology without some knowledge at least of Assyrian. … But what has already been achieved in the field of Assyrian decipherment is but an earnest of what may yet be achieved in it. The harvest is abundant; the labourers alone are wanted. Let us hope that Mr. Budge's book will be, amongst others, the means of gathering them in."—The Guardian, August 8, 1880.

The illustrations are chosen from an ethnographic point of view, as specimens of the leading races of the early world.
"Mr. Tomkins has produced a very vivid and truthful picture of the surroundings of Abraham. The margin with its notes is a joy to behold. It will be some time before such a book can be superseded."—Academy.
"The book is a monument of laborious and patient investigation, and its utility is increased by drawings which greatly assist a comprehension of the text."—Daily Telegraph.
"We must not omit to give an appreciative word to the great number of illustrations from photographs and from the author's own drawings. They add much to the value of a highly interesting and indeed important book."—Literary Churchman.

"The texts of Genesis scattered throughout the twelve volumes of the Talmud have been carefully searched out and arranged in the order in which we find them in our Bibles. To each individual text is added the immediate context as found in the Talmud. After many of the texts and the direct Talmudical comments upon them, so-called Synoptical Notes are introduced. These refer to the principal subjects suggested in the text just commented upon, and any curious and interesting remark on these subjects contained in the Mishna and Gemara is appended. Careful references to the particular treatise, page and column are in all cases given."—Introductory Essay.
