Quarto bound in three quarters morocco over marbled boards morocco spine labels lettered in gilt elaborate gilt tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands engraved frontispiece portrait of Gibbon. In near fine condition. A very attractive example of one of the first modern autobiographies published in the English language. When Gibbon died in 1794 he left his personal papers to Lord Sheffield who carefully selected and edited them. “Few men I believe have ever so fully unveiled their own character by a minute narrative of their sentiments and pursuits as Mr. Gibbon will here be found to have done; not with study and labour-not with an affected frankness-but with a genuine confession of his little foibles and peculiarities and a good-humoured and natural display of his own conduct and opinions.†Gibbon's Memoirs are considered one of the first autobiographies in the modern sense of the word and have a secure place in the canon of English literature.

"This masterpiece of historical penetration and literary style has remained one of the ageless historical works Gibbon brought a width of vision and a critical mastery of the available sources which have not been equalled to this day; and the result was clothed in inimitable prose" PMM 222. "For 22 years Gibbon was a prodigy of steady and arduous application. His investigations extended over almost the whole range of intellectual activity for nearly 1500 years. And so thorough were his methods that the laborious investigations of German scholarship the keen criticisms of theological zeal and the steady researches of two centuries have brought to light very few important errors in the results of his labors. But it is not merely the learning of his work learned as it is that gives it character as a history. It is also that ingenious skill by which the vast erudition the boundless range the infinite variety and the gorgeous magnificence of the details are all wrought together in a symmetrical whole. It is still entitled to be esteemed as the greatest historical work ever written" Adams Manual of Historical Literature 146-7. Printed for W. Strahan; and T. Cadell, in the Strand hardcover
