Recent Assyrian Discoveries.
From Frazer's Magazine.l

We may see numerous black stones in
the British Museum. which record the sale
and purchase Of particular lands, and the
most terrible curses are invoked upon the
heads of those who should injure and de-
stroy these evidences Of the ownership
of property. One of them, lately found
by Mr.. Smith, tells us that the ground
mentioned in it was bestowed by the king
upon sort Of poet.laureate, on account
of some panegyrics he had written upon
the kingdom. Still more PLENTIFUL than
these are private contract tablets, often
in an outer coating Of clay, on which an
Distract Of the contents Of the inner tab.
let is stamped. Many of them are pierced
with holes, through which strings were
passed to leaves Of papyri. The latter
have long since persisted. The papyrus
was used by the Arcadians as writing
material at remote date, although the
more durable clay tablets were preferred.
The mercantile class seems to have con.
sisted chiefly of Semites. rather than of
Arcadians; and if we wanted to find
the fullest development Of bust
ness and commerce we must
come down to the eighth and
seventh centuries B. c., when Nineveh
was busting centre of trade. Tyre had
been destroyed by the Assyrian kings,
and trade had transferred itself further
to the East. Csrchcmish, which was IA.
vorably situated near the Euphrates, was
the meeting place Of the merchants Of oil
nations, and the "manch of Carchemish"
became the standard Of weight. Houses
and other property, including slaves,
were bought and sold /; and the careful
ness with which the deeds Of sale or lease
were drawn up, the details into which
they west, and the number Of attending
witnesses, were quite worthy ola modern
lawyer. Money, too, was : lent at inte.
rest. usually at the rate Of four per cent,
but sometimes, more especially when
goods like iron were borrowed, at per
cent. Security for the loan was often
taken in houses or other property. The
witnesses and contracting parties gener-
ally fixed their seals; but where they
were too poor to possess any, hallmark
was considered sufficient. All this appre.
citation and interchanging Of property led,
IS We might suppose, to testarnentary dew
olution, and no less document than the
private will of Sennacherib is now in the
British Museum.
