Myths and Legends of Babylonia and Assyria; originally published in November 1916; is a beautiful book that includes explanations of Babylonian and Assyrian legends and myths as well as the myths themselves. Lewis Spence; in the Preface; describes his purpose in writing the book as providing the reader with "the treasures of romance latent in the subject; the peculiar richness of which has been recognized since the early days of archaeological effort in Chaldea." Presented here with original illustrations and bookplates of paintings; drawings; and pictures concerning the myths; this book is a classic addition to any library. LEWIS SPENCE (1874-1955) was a Scottish journalist who recorded Scottish folklore; myths and legends from around the world; histories and legends about the lost world of Atlantis; and works on the occult. Spence graduated from Edinburgh University and was the editor of three magazines; The Scotsman; The Edinburgh Magazine; and The British Weekly. He also founded the Scottish National Movement; now known as the Scottish National Party.

Excellent history of the families associated with the Civil War and Georgia history.By Patricia Ann GonzalezJulian Williams is my cousin. He passed away last year RIP. His efforts to bring forth the sad history of the Civil War and the people it affected; especially in the area of Jacksonville; GA; deserve great merit. My great uncle Col. Wiley J. Williams is on the cover of this book (left side; middle picture; with a white beard). Julian helped me find out so much of the history of my Williams family.I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Civil War history and/or Georgia history.Thank you; Cousin Julian! Rest in peace.
