Abstract
DR. HALL'S last book was published ten days after his sudden and premature death. His friends may derive some consoloation, and his readers at large statisfaction, from the fact that here for the first time in his writings he has given the world a narrative which is largely of personal experience. The tragic circumstance may also excuse a reviewer who pays more attention to this aspect of the book than to the scientific.
A Season's Work at Ur: al-'Ubaid, Abu Shahrain (Eridu), and Elsewhere; being an Unofficial Account of the British Museum Archæological Mission to Babylonia, 1919.
By Dr. H. R. Hall. Pp. xxii + 300. (London: Methuen and Co., Ltd., 1930.) 25s. net.
