Among the interesting papers pre-
sented at the last meeting OF the
American Oriental Society was de-
scription by the Rev. William Hayes
Ward, superintendent editor OF Inc
Independent, of the slabs containing
Ninvitic cuneiform inscriptions that
have been brought to this country |
They are mainly mural, taken from
the palace at Nimroud the Oalah
of the Bible-built by an Assyrian
monarch, Assur-nazir-bal, cotempo-
ary with Ahab and Jehoshaphat'
The military prowesS of this mon
arch extended his empire widely;
Mr. Ward presented sphotograph OF
one of these slabs and offered a trans.
lation oft, having no knowledge OF
any other rendering of it into mod
ern tongues, though Of opinion that
this has been also probably affected
in Europe. The following extracts
will give some idea of the trans!a-

Oh who but oft hath marveled why

Oh why should haplsss human kind

Pray listen, and perhaps you'll find
My rhyme may give the reason.
