Excerpt from Travels in Chaldæa: Including a Journey From Bussorah to Bagdad, Hillah, and Babylon, Performed on Foot in 1827, With Observations on the Sites and Remains of Babel, Seleucia, and Ctesiphon I have endeavoured to extend the researches of the two f onher, and to verify their conclu sions, and I trust that my labours will throw additional light upon the descriptions of the an cien ts, as well as confirm the hypothesis adopt ed by Buckingham, whose observations on the ruins appear to me to be more critical, correct, and comprehensive, and more fully to accord with the earliest accounts, than those of any other modern traveller.
