'Extract from a letter of Major Rawlinson addressed to Mr Norris, dated Behistun, Sept. 20, 1847' in which he is delighted to report that having returned to the site ten days previously, with renewed health and spirit, he has found a considerable portion of the Babylonian inscription to be legible. He has made copies of the inscription using a powerful telescope resulting in him obtaining a list of Babylonian names and a 'tolerable' vocabulary.
