Excerpt from the Preface: "In the following pages I have tried to give some idea of life in an excavator's camp and to sketch certain out-of-the-way places and their inhabitants. If they succeed in interesting the reader in the life and scenery of the Euphrates, and in showing that it has charms quite equal to the better known ones of the Nile, they will serve their purpose. I hope, however, that they will arouse some interest in the cause of Babylonian research. The example of America, and the success which has attended the excavations at Nippur, should surely encourage England to despatch an expedition to investigate one or other of the sites which are so numerous on the banks of Euphrates and Tigris.".
