Though originally published in French in 1761 Gibbon wrote most of this essay in 1758 while only 21. The translator has never been identified but was probably a professional hired by Becket. Gibbon was not happy with it though it was advertised as being prepared 'under the inspection of the author'. He states "had my feelings been more exquisite I might have wept over its blunders and baldness." Also from his journal January 11th 1763. " From thence I went to Becket paid him his bill fifty-four pounds and gave him back his translation. It must be printed tho' very indifferent. My comfort is that my misfortune is not an uncommon one." One of the 'best' mistakes quoted by Norton is the rendering of "si la physique a ses Buffons" by "if Physics hath its buffoons." unknown

First edition in English of Gibbon's first published work 12mo pp. 8 168 including ads; contemporary full speckled calf ruled in gilt leather spine label lettered in gilt previous owner's name written neatly in ink on title else a very good copy. In 1753 Gibbon a young man of twenty-five was sent by his father to Lausanne to study with the Calvinist minister Pavillard and did not return until 1758. By this time he had already begun his Essai sur l'Etude de la Litterature which he finished in England in 1759 where it was published on the urging of his father in 1761. Published in French the work found little audience in England but succeeded apparently abroad and it was reprinted in both Paris and Geneva in 1762. After its publication in English in 1764 it became highly sought after but Gibbon refused to republish it himself. Only one other contemporary edition appeared in 1788 in Dublin which was pirated. Contains a touching 5-page dedication to his father.
