Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Prophecies Relating to Nineveh and the Assyrians: Translated From the Hebrew, Historical Introductions and Notes, Exhibiting the Principal Results of the Recent Discoveries
In selecting the Prophecies to be translated, I have been guided, very much, by the wish to include only those in which there could be no doubt that the Assyrians were distinctly in the sacred writer's mind, in the whole, or some principal part, of the composition. Slight inci dental allusions, such, for example, as we have in Hosea and Micah, have not been thought sufficient to require the introduction of the passages containing them. In most of what is here offered, the Assyrians, or their capital city, are the evident subject of the prophecy; in the rest they are more or less intimately connected with it, even when not expressly named; as, for instance, in Isaiah.
