They were written by experts for the general reader and combined a comprehensive approach to knowledge with an emphasis on accessibility. Ancient Assyria by C. H. W. Johns was first published in 1912. The volume contains a historical account of the Assyrians, together with numerous illustrative figures and a bibliography.
