Excerpt from The Cuneiform Inscriptions and the Old Testament, Vol. 2: Translated From the Second Enlarged German Edition
I have once more the pleasure of acknowledging the ever ready and helpful kindness Of Prof. Schrader in pre~ paring this volume for the press. The English edition is enriched by his own recent brilliant combinations on the field Of early Babylonian History whereby he arrives at the identification of the Biblical Amraphel with king Hammu rabi. A translation of an important Excursus in his own monograph, read before the Royal Academy of Sciences at Berlin, will be found in the Notes and Addenda at the close of this volume. Dr. Schrader has moreover added valuable Appendices on Assyriological literature as well as On the Moods and Tenses of the Assyrian verb. This edition also owes much to Mr. Pinches of the British Museum whose great erudition and ready command of cuneiform literature are at the service Of every inquirer. My indebtedness to him has been duly notified in each case.
A word of grateful acknowledgment is due for the kindly welcome accorded to the first volume. Among the nume rous friendly notices I would especially mention the long and able review signed 'e', which appeared in the 'expositor'

Excerpt from The Cuneiform Inscriptions and the Old Testament, Vol. 2: Translated From the Second Enlarged German Edition
An apology is due to the reader for the late appearance of this second volume. Various causes have contributed to delay its completion. The character of the work which demanded the utmost care in printing; the immense labour required in re-editing the glossary and in adapting the great number of references therein contained to the English edition, the appearance of new treatises or articles on Assyriology and lastly, the heavy and continuous pressure of my own engagements as a college tutor have all cooperated to defer the fulfilment of my task. It is hoped that the reader will recognize the compensating advantages of completeness and accuracy which have entailed much additional trouble and expense in publication. It will be found that due note has been taken of the important contributions to Assyriology which have appeared during the last three years.
