Foreword

The need of a series of progressive lessons for beginners in Cuneiform

has long been felt in the Columbia University Semitic Department. The

object of the present work is to lighten the labours of the English

speaking Assyrian student, who has hitherto been compelled to learn, bysheer force of memory, the ninety-eight simple signs before he could

proceed to read the most ordinary text. In the following lessons an

attempt has been made to grade the acquisition of the signs and the

learning of the main features of the grammar, so that the student mayproceed, inductively and with comparative facility, to master simultaneouslyboth the intricacies of the characters and the most salient facts of Assyrian

grammatical structure.

My especial thanks are due to my friend Dr. Robert J. Lau ofColumbia University for the great care and skill with which he has

autographed the sign-lists and exercises.

J. Dyneley Prince.

Columbia University, New York.
