“Since writing this article, C. R. Conder's work on "The Tell-Amarna Tablets" (London, 1893) has appeared. The translation of the letters from Jerusalem, though only of six of them, may be found on pp. 139-157. Suffice it to say of these translations - and the remark applies to all the others in Conders' book - that they are frequently fanciful and throughout unreliable, due not to any inherent difficulties in the texts but to Conder's wholly inadequate knowledge of the language in which the letters are written. What he means by calling this language "Aramaic resembling Assyrian" (p. 1) I fail to understand. Naturally, the basis of his structure being faulty, the conclusions drawn by him are equally untrustworthy. The value of his work, so far as it has any, lies in its geographical identifications. It is extremely to be regretted that the first English translation of such important documents should bear so unscientific a character.”10
