Bricks from BABYLON.

There is a law in the Turkish EN-.

old, and the fact that IL is on the stat

practice OF Offering spurious articles

OF sufficient age to be OF value are
rarely TO be purchased, and the gen
eral desire OF the visitor. therefore.
seems 10 be TO obtain stones or pieces
OF clay from the sites of ancient ruins
or bricks with inscriptions. The for
mer can probably be obtained. but they
are practically valueless. as one piece
of clay from Babylon is quite like an
other from Musol. Bricks from either
of these places that are known to be
genuine are unobtainable.
