This publication released to a wider audience the work on Assyrian
inscriptions of Sir Henry Rawlinson (1810-95), who had begun his
career in the East India Company in Persia and Afghanistan, where
his exceptional linguistic skills were recognised. He had been
studying the monumental, trilingual (in Old Persian, Elamite and
Babylonian) Behistun inscription of Darius the Great since 1836,
and, building on the earlier research of Georg Friedrich Grotefend,
delivered a summary of his progress in decipherment to the Royal
Asiatic Society early in 1850. He intended to follow it up with a
longer book, but was anxious to gain credit for primacy (which was
questioned at the time and still remains controversial), and so
published this short work in March 1850. It states Rawlinson's
theories, and offers a linguistic and archaeological background to
his work, along with his interpretation of king lists and other
inscriptions.
