Note 027
The most considerable ruins of Assyria are the tower of Belus, at Babylon, and the hall of Chosroes, at Ctesiphon: they have been visited by that vain and curious traveller Pietro della Valle, (tom. i. p. 713 - 718, 731 - 735.)
Note: The best modern account is that of Claudius Rich Esq. Two Memoirs of Babylon. London, 1818. -
