Abstract

Babylon is one of the oldest and most interesting cities of which we have any knowledge. Not only do secular writers of antiquity speak of it in terms of highest admiration and count it among the wonders of the world, but the sacred records themselves have immortalized the name of this great metropolis, which for centuries radiated culture and civilization to the whole then known world and by whose waters ancient Judah's children hung their harps on the willows and wept because their beloved Jerusalem was no more.
