I there said that \"the writer who wishes to make use of a translation from an Egyptian or Assyrian text for historical or controversial purposes ought to know where it is certain, and where it is only possible, or at most probable.\" I therefore promised that \"in the present series of volumes doubtful words and expressions should be followed by a note of interrogation, the preceding word being put into italics where necessary\"; that is to say, that the reader should be forewarned whenever the translator was himself in doubt as to the correctness of his rendering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo far as lies within the power of an editor, this promise has been fulfilled.
