PRINTED FROM THE JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL ASIATIC SOCIETY. LONDON : JOHN W. PARKER and SON, WEST STRAND. 1852. 1^ # [The following Paper was intended by Colonel Rawlinson to form part of the Annual Report, but was received too late for insertion. It was therefore read at the first General Meeting after the anniver- sary. Colonel Rawlinson, in a letter, dated at the camp, Nineveh, 11th April, 1852, states that the paper was drawn up for the information of the Council — " in great haste, amid torrent...s of rain, in a little tent upon the mound of Nineveh, without any aids beyond a pocket Bible, a note-book of inscriptions, and a tolerably retentive memory. " — It is intended to gratify public curiosity upon a subject of vast and daily increasing interest. Mr. Layard having been present at the reading, and having, at the request of the Council offered a few remarks on this interesting subject, he was requested to commit them to writing, and they are here appended to Colonel Rawlinson's importailt communication.
