vantage. Commentaries, dictionaries and
critical works evidence a love of litera-
ture, not the mere making of books.
The Ninevite Library presents several
curious features that for some time the
archaeologists found it difficult to ex-
plain.
In the first place, it is pointed out
there are no tablets, except State docu-
ments or historical inscriptions, prior to
the reign Of Assurbanipal (B. c. 66S-oZo)
a circumstance that indicates that the
library was founded in his reign. Then,
too, the careful arrangement of the tab
lets in groups and sets, with an index or
catalogue in many cases, shows that it
was formed on definite. plan and was
not a gradual growth during a long
period of time. Finally very large num-
bers of the tablets have an endorsement
TO the effect that they were like the old
copy"
The question arises. What was the
origin of these older works? The first
indication was afforded by the statement
on certain of the tablets that they were
copies OF tablets from Babylonian cities,
and the discoveries in the libraries of
Babylonian temples of duplicates of tab
let's already known to the archaeolo-
gists from the Assyrian Library proved
that the Babylonians had a similar liter
allure. Copies of the Creation legends
have been found at Borsippa, and the
Assyrian Library had a copy of the Code
of Hammurabi Transcribed into the AS
syrian script. 1t is clear, then, that it
was Babylonia that furnished the "old

All doubt as to the Chaldean origin of

pal, but probably by the priest scribe who
acted as the royal librarian 1t was ad-
dressed to a certain Shadunu, who was
a man of considerable importance, and,
as is now ascertained, the heau of a
manuscript commission despatched to
search for tablets in the Babylonian IL
braries. 1t has been translated thus:
The word of the king to Shadunu;
am we'll; mayst thou be happy The
day thou seest this letter of mine take
certain personsl and such persons of
Borsippa, as thou knowest, and seek out
all the tablets which are in their houses,
and all the tablets laid up in the temple

as may be found on your journey which
do not exist in Assyria, and send them
to me. l am giving orders to the treas
urers and projects. Thou shall put them

for it and get it and send it to me-
1t thus appears that a commission with
unlimited powers was despatched by the
Assyrian king to search both the temple
and private libraries of Babylonia and
take from them works suitable for the
newly established royal library at Min
eveh.
The destruction of Nineveh occurred
about 600 3. c., so that the library had

Resolutions of Respect.

The Colby College faculty, at Il
meeting just held, passed the follow
ing resolutions upon the death OF Dr.
Pepper:
The members of the Faculty of Col
by College wish TO record in this min
ute their profound sorrow at the death
of their former colleague. the Rev.
George Dana Boardman Pepper, d. ID i,
l.. L. D.. which occurred on January
50. 1913, and express their sincere APP
probation of his life, character and
services.
DR. Pepper served this college as
its president for seven years. from
1882 To 1883, and again from 1898 to
1899 as professor of Biblical Litera-
ture, giving the institution during all
those years the very best of his ener-
gy, of his rich experience as an edu-
Gator and of his ripe and progressive
scholarship; and though he is known
personally to but a few members of
the present faculty ard to few of the
present body of the students of the
college his work remains and his in
fiuence is still felt; and his name, his
attractive personality, his sunny dis
position, his unselfish consideration for
others, his intellectual mastery, his
power of analysis the keenness and
kindness of his wit, his qualities of
leadership in thought and action-re-
mains as precious memories, and have
served as a stimulus to better living.
deeper thinking and greater activity
on the part of those who have come in
contact with this distinguished man
and sincere friend.
As a man of Christian fortitude and
deep religious conviction, DIR. Pepper
stood eminent among all those
with whom he WAS associated in his
long career; and his Influence upon
the religious life of the college, and
upon the religious life of the commlln-
ity in which he passed so large Il part
of his life, is the most important her
itage that he has left
Sincerest and tenderest sympathy is
extended to the members of DIR. Pen
pcr's family: and il is voted to spread
this minute upon the records of the
faculty and to transmit a copy to the
family.
