Variously attributed to the gregarious instinct in men, to the necessity of protection and defence, to the ambition for creating a great capital, or to the natural accretions springing from growth of commerce and the arts of life, the city has become a fixed fact in all civilized nations. What was the name or the locality of the first city is lost in the oblivion that entombs the populations, the language, and the literature of the pre-historic nations. We cannot even re-create the buried wonders of Persepolis, the capital of ancient Persia nor can we tread with confidence amid the mythical splendors of Babylon. What were the features of that civilization which dwelt upon the banks of Tigris and Euphrates, may be conjectured for us by laborious antiquaries; but no authentic record gives us more than the scantiest memorials of their greatness, their wars, and decline.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
