ANCIENT BABYLON.

Very little is recorded of the early history of the
city of Babylon. Its foundations were laid ii is sup.

after the dispersion of Babel II stood on the river
Euphrates, on an even and extensive plain. 1t
surrounded by wall, incredible as it may seem, Of
three hundred and fifty feet in height, eighty seven in
thickness, and sixty miles in circumference forming
an exact square, fifteen miles on either side. The
massive wall was made of large btuminous bricks so
firmly cemened as to render it perfectly solid. An
enormous ditch, lined on both sides with brick and
hed with water, encompassed the city-the size of
which may be nearly estimated from the fact that the
walls of the city were entirely composed of clay ta-
ken out of it.
The city was entered through the walls, by one
hundred gates twenty-five each side, composed of
solid brass. Between every two of the rates were
ree towers ten feet in height also one On each of
the four Corners and three between the several
ner towers and the first gate, making in al three hun
bred and sixteen. From the gates on one side of the
city to those on the opposite side, went streets one
hundred and fifty feet in width These fifty streets,
crossing each other right angles, divided he city
INTO SIX hundred and seventy-six squares. The hou-
SEES stood on these squares short distance from each
other, facing the streets The central parts of these
numerous squares were laid out in gardens, walks,
