II According to the Leeds Mercury. Col.
Rawlinson has just discovered among the ruins
of ancient Babylon an extensive ibrary-not,
indeed, printed on paper, but impressed on
baked bricks-containing many and volumin-
treatises on astronomy, mathematics. etho-
nology and several other most important branch
es of knowledge. These treatises contain facts
and arguments which, in his opinion, will have
no small operation ON the study Of the sciences
TO which they relate, and indeed. on almost ev-
cry branch OF learning, and which throw great
light upon Biblical history and criticism and the
history of our race
