Among these we may mention the Philips cylinder, from which, in speaking of the great works carried out by Nebuchadnezzar, LENORMANT gives long extracts in his Manuel d'Histoire ancienne, vol. ii. pp. 233 and 235.

The ideograph Im with which the name is written designates the god as the power presiding over storms; and while it is certain that, in Assyria at least, the god was known as Ramman, which means 'the thunderer, it is possible that this was an epithet given to the god, and not his real or his oldest name. Professor Oppert is of the opinion that Adad represents the oldest name of the god.
Speaking of these pictures, the writer on art, J. Oppert, says that some paintings were found in the Palace of Sargon; they represented gods, lions, rosettes, and various other designs; but when he reached Nineveh, one year after these discoveries, the pictures had all disappeared the colors which had been buried twenty-five hundred years lasted but a few days after they were uncovered.
Seppi was a smart and animated boy, and had enthusiasm and expression, and was a contrast to Nikolaus and me. He was full of the last new mystery, now the disappearance of Hans Oppert, the village loafer. People were beginning to be curious about it, he said. He did not say anxious curious was the right word, and strong enough. No one had seen Hans for a couple of days.
From that time Marmet had no rest. At every meeting he was mocked unmercifully; and, finally, in spite of his softness, he got angry. Schmoll is without rancor. It is a virtue of his race. He does not bear ill-will to those whom he persecutes. One day, as he went up the stairway of the Institute with Renan and Oppert, he met Marmet, and extended his hand to him.
PLACE, Ninive, vol. iii. plates 24 and 31. "The painting," says M. OPPERT, "was applied to a kind of roughly blocked-out relief." De Longperier, Musée Napoléon III., plate iv.

"Well, you see, the American and Oppert took advantage of their appearance in Shanghai to let people believe that they were high officials sent over by the king, who was anxious to send an embassy to the different courts of Europe to explain the slaughter of foreigners which had taken place in his country, and also with the object of entering, if possible, into treaties with the different European monarchs in fact to open his country to foreign trade and commerce.
Once settled in Chaldæa, they called themselves, according to M. Oppert, the people of SUMER, a title which is continually associated with that of "the people of ACCAD" in the inscriptions. Upon the Chaldæan chadoufs see LAYARD, Discoveries, pp. 109, 110. Genesis xi. 2. Genesis x. 8-12. Genesis x. 6-20. Genesis x. 22: "The children of Shem." Genesis xi. 27-32.
Did the world owe Israel nothing for Philo, Aron ben Asher, Solomon Gabriol, Halevy, Mendelssohn, Heine, Meyerbeer, Rubinstein, Joachim, Zangwill? Does Britain owe nothing to Lord Beaconsfield, Montefiore or the Rothschilds? Can France repudiate her debt to Fould, Gaudahaux, Oppert, or Germany to Furst, Steinschneider, Herxheimer, Lasker, Auerbach, Traube and Lazarus and Benfey?...
It is clear, however, that a single nation must have invented the system," OPPERT, Journal Asiatique, 1875, p. 474. A reproduction of this stone will be found farther on.
