Excerpt from Assyrian Discoveries: An Account of Explorations and Discoveries on the Site of Nineveh, During 1873 and 1874In the body of my work I have acknowledged the assistance I received from several gentlemen, official and private, in my expeditions. To these I must add the name of M. Peretie, the French consul at Mosul, who was of great assistance to me in my dealings with the Turkish officials, and took as much interest in my affairs as if I had been a fellow-subject with himself. The presence of M. Peretie at Mosul, and his generous attention to British interests, makes the want of a British consul less felt; but it is extremely unfortunate that in the wide extent of country be tween Aleppo and Baghdad there is not a. Single British representative.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
