Excerpt from The Master of the Magicians There are few things about which it is easier to disagree than a historical tale dealing with a period so remote that fable and fact contend for the field. The authors of this story have taken the liberty of adjusting the uncertain calendar of the times to the necessities of art. They have not thought it urgent strictly to follow the Biblical chronology, for reasons obvious to any Oriental student and important to the movement of the narrative. Modern Assyriology has become a rapid and complex series of discoveries. To dogmatise, is to be unscientific. The enthusiastic research of to-morrow may overthrow the theory of today. "The Master of the Magicians, " be it remembered, is not an archæological treatise, but a novel. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
