NOTE

Previous

Professor Cumming has chosen a most interesting subject upon which to write a comparison of “The Assyrian and the Hebrew Hymns of Praise.” He has spent a number of years developing his theme, and has produced a book which I commend heartily to the attention of scholars who are interested in this field. Of course, we do not possess all the hymns written by the Assyrian poets, nor have we all those produced by the old Hebrew songsters. But we certainly have sufficient to make it possible for us to form a just idea of their character and of their beauty.
