This volume focuses on the architectural and artistic achievements of the ancient civilizations of Chaldæa and Assyria, tracing the evolution of their techniques and design principles.

The opening of the book delves into the significance and characteristics of civil and military architecture in Mesopotamia, highlighting the well-preserved ruins of Assyrian palaces that allow for detailed restorations.
