The seven great monarchies of the ancient eastern world: or, The history, geography and antiquities of Chaldæa, Assyria, Babylon, Media, Persia, Parthia, and Sassanian or New Persian empire . Shamas-Vul at oncetook the field, attacked and reduced the rebellious cities oneafter another, and in a little time completely crushed the re-volt and re-established peace throughout the empire. Asshur-danin-pal, the arch conspirator, was probably put to death;his life was justly forfeit; and neither Shamas-Vul nor hisfather is likely to have been withheld by any inconvenienttenderness from punishing treason in a near relative, as theywould have punished it in any other person.
