Description
Excerpt from Ancient Deeds Belonging to the Corporation of Bath, XIII-XVI Cent
Mankind has ever sought to make the evidences of property transactions as nearly imperishable as could be. The Babylonians, in order to preserve the record Of their agreements, stamped them upon clay bricks, which when baked were stored in a treasury from which many have been brought to the British Museum, a more lasting method even than writing on parchment which was the ordinary custom of Western nations.
