Sir Hector Bartlett had been the
ablest Assyriologist in Europe. Under
his hands the ancient writing in Asia
had taken the completeness and the
uniformity OF a national language;
before him, these languages had been
mere fragments puzzled out; and with
a large conception he had welded
these fragments together and shown
this to have been the learned written
speech of a great vanished age in
Asia. This big conception had lifted
the whole thing onto an elevated
plane; it had laid forever the claims
of Haleyy that this wedge-writing
was a mere cabalistic script of the
Sumerian priests. He had shown it
to be the speech of a people.
