Note 40 — Chapter I · CIVIL AND MILITARY ARCHITECTURE.
Walter Armstrong translation
Layard believes himself to have ascertained that the buildings on one part of the Nimroud mound were ruined and covered with earth, when those upon another part of the platform were founded. The paved floor of the north-western palace is on a level with the upper part of the walls of the north-eastern and central palaces (Nineveh, vol. iii. p. 202).
