Book Description
Excerpt from Williamstown, the "Berkshire Hills" And Thereabout Numerous spurs of various heights jut out from the principal chains. Two of these, with the adjoining mountains, enclose Williamstown as in a vast amphi theatre, the Hoosac River flowing westward forming its northern vista, thence winding through a narrow valley into the open country beyond as it seeks the lower level of the Hudson. On the east, at seven miles distance, the Hoosac Mountain range rises abruptly, overhanging the large manufacturing town of North Adams, now almost a city. But the loftiest height is no obstacle to engineering skill. The mountain is pierced, almost within sight of Williamstown, by the famous Hoosac Tunnel, through which the trains of the Fitchburg Railroad pass and repass on their way between the Hudson and the Hub.

The British Museum’s Excavations at Nineveh, 1846–1855
Author: Geoffrey Turner
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004435379
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 814
Book Description
Geoffrey Turner has written the definitive study of the mid-19th century excavations sponsored by the British Museum at the ancient Assyrian site of Nineveh in Iraq. Based on exhaustive analysis of unpublished archives combined with his own extensive knowledge of Assyrian architecture, Turner’s work documents the complete history of these excavations. Turner also draws on the archives and numerous additional sources to provide a detailed reconstruction of the architecture and relief sculpture in the building that was the primary focus of these excavations, the Southwest Palace of Sennacherib (ruled 705-681 BC). The result constitutes the final report both on the results of these excavations and on the original appearance of one of the ancient world’s most famous buildings.
