In preparing these volumes, it has been my aim to give a clear and fairly complete account of the arts and crafts of older Spain. It seems to me that there is room for a work of this design and scope, and that there is no reason why so attractive a subject—or rather, group of subjects—should be perpetually ignored by persons who travel through, or who profess to feel an interest in, the country of the Cid and of Don Quixote. My account of Spanish pottery is guarded, and yet I trust accepta...

Originally published in 1909, this classic book contains a wealth of information on the famous artist Joaquin Sorolla Y Bastida and his works, and will make a valuable addition to the bookshelf of anyone with an interest in the subject. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwor...

The object of the following pages is not to give anything like a complete treatise on the Maori language, nor even a complete outline of Maori Grammar; but rather to furnish, in as small a compass as possible, some practical hints on the ordinary modes of using the different parts of speech; and to clear away some of the difficulties which are most likely to occur to one who is making his first acquaintance with the language; and, I should add, to do this to the satisfaction, in some degre...

The Code of Hammurabi is a Babylonian legal text composed during 1755–1750 BC. It is the longest, best-organised, and best-preserved legal text from the ancient Near East. It is written in the Old Babylonian dialect of Akkadian, purportedly by Hammurabi, sixth king of the First Dynasty of Babylon. The primary copy of the text is inscribed on a basalt stele 2.25 m (7 ft 4+1⁄2 in) tall.The stele was rediscovered in 1901 at the site of Susa

"The Code of Hammurabi" is a well-preserved Babylonian law code that dates back to the 18th century BCE during the reign of King Hammurabi of Babylon. It consists of 282 laws that cover a wide range of topics, including civil and criminal matters, property rights, family law, trade regulations, and labor issues. The code is inscribed on a large stele, or stone pillar, which was discovered in 1901 in modern-day Iran (formerly Persia).Leonard William King, among other scholars, played a role...

Legends of Babylon and Egypt in Relation to Hebrew Tradition includes three lectures given in 1916: Egypt, Babylon, and Palestine, and Some Traditional Origins; Deluge Stories and the New Sumerian Version; and, Creation and the Dragon Myth.

The Seven Tablets Of Creation contains the Enuma Elish which is the earliest written creation myth. It describes how the creation of the universe came about when Marduk battled the chaos Goddess Tiamat and her evil servants. This ancient text is considered by scholars to be the primary source material for the book of Genesis.

In these lectures an attempt is made, not so much to restate familiar facts, as to accommodate them to new and supplementary evidence which has been published in America since the outbreak of the war. But even without the excuse of recent discovery, no apology would be needed for any comparison or contrast of Hebrew tradition with the mythological and legendary beliefs of Babylon and Egypt. Hebrew achievements in the sphere of religion and ethics are only thrown into stronger relief when stud...
