What to read after History of Egypt, Chaldea, Syria, Babylonia, and Assyria, in the Light of Recent Discovery (Classic Reprint)?

The present volume contains an account of the most important additions which have been made to our knowl edge of the ancient history of Egypt and Western Asia during the few years which have elapsed since the pub lication of Prof. Maspero's Histoire Ancienne des Peu ples de z'orient Classique, and includes short descrip tions of the excavations from which these results have been obtained. It is in no sense a connected and con tinuous history of these countries, for that has already been written by Prof. Maspero, but is rather intended as an appendix or addendum to his work, briefly re capitulating and describing the discoveries made since its appearance. On this account we have followed a geographical rather than a chronological system of ar rangement, but at the same time the attempt has been made to suggest to the mind of the reader the historical sequence of events.
