Engraved frontispiece portrait 3 engraved maps 2 large folding; 1 full-page; general index and errata; printed marginalia.

Text lightly toned throughout with occasional smudges and light foxing largely confined to top margin; tear at leaf Aa2 vol. 1 extending into text expertly repaired; very occasional light pencil underlinings and annotations at margins else a very good amply-margined set with fine maps.<br /> <br /> Mixed set comprising three volumes of "A New Edition" vols. 1-3 and three volumes of the first edition vols. 4-6. First conceived by Edward Gibbon 1737-1794 amidst the ruins of Rome on 15 October 1764 the first edition of the work was issued serially the first volume appearing in 1776 the final three in 1788. "This masterpiece of historical penetration and literary style has remained one of the ageless historical works. a comprehensive picture of the whole Mediterranean world from the death of Marcus Aurelius A.D. 180 to the fall of Constantinople in 1453. To this task 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 an inimitable prose. It was his good fortune as Lytton Strachey observed that 'the material with which he had to cope was still just not too voluminous to be digested by a single extremely competent mind. In the following century even a Gibbon would have collapsed under the accumulated mass of knowledge at his disposal'" PMM.<br /> <br /> The Decline and Fall was a notable publishing success; the print run of the first volume was expanded by William Strahan from 500 to 1000 copies and sold out in less than two weeks. Among the more progressive-minded savants in the literary and academic world it was well received: "From the chorus of praise the admiration of Adam Ferguson Joseph Warton and Horace Walpole must have been deeply gratifying. It was however David Hume's letter of congratulation which according to Gibbon 'overpaid the labour of ten years.'" ODNB. But Hume's praise was laced with warning. He believed that despite Gibbon's "very prudent temperament" in discussing the origins and early history of Christianity in the 15th and 16th chapters of the first volume "it was impossible to treat the subject so as not to give grounds of suspicion against you and you may expect that a clamour will arise" quoted in ODNB. These chapters did indeed arouse heated condemnation from Christians of all denominations and Gibbon made extensive revisions to them in the three subsequent editions of the first volume and in the New Edition which appears in the present set.<br /> <br /> The engraved frontispiece after Sir Joshua Reynold's acclaimed portrait originally appeared in the first edition of the second volume. All three maps are dated 1781. References: Carter and Muir Printing and the Mind of Man 222; ESTC T78359 vol. 1 - N36543 vols. 2-3 - T78365 vols. 4-6; J.

‎The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire . A New Edition.‎

‎1807. London: Printed for Cadell & Davies et al. 1807. Twelve vols 8vo. Contemporary full mottled calf gilt borders to sides spines with gilt rules and two black gilt morocco lettering pieces marbled endpapers all edges marbled; a little rubbing to spines front hinges tender generally very clean very good.New edition from the library of one of the early twentieth century's finest historians. The most celebrated historical work in English literature. ""Gibbon's great erudition breadth of treatment and powerful organization render this a lasting monument of substantial accuracy as well as elegance . most of Gibbon's scholarship remains unchallenged"" Oxford Companion to English Lit. ""This masterpiece of historical penetration and literary style has remained one of the ageless historical works"" PMM 222. In 1788 Gibbon's friend Adam Smith wrote that ""by the universal assent of every man of taste and learning. Decline and Fall sets you at the very head of the whole literary tribe at present existing in Europe"" ODNB. Because of its role in explaining the role Christianity played in ""weakening"" the Roman Empire Gibbon's magnum opus landed on the Papal Index and remained there until the Index librorum prohibitorum was abolished in 1966.Provenance: Each volume signed to fly-leaf ""G.M. Trevelyan/ Hallington/ 1929."" Trevelyan 1876-1962 was one of the most distinguished historians of his time. A Fellow and later Master of Trinity College Cambridge and in retirement Chancellor of Durham University he had a long and distinguished career as a Whig historian very much in Gibbon's tradition - opinionated partisan and convinced of the world's progress towards enlightenment. Hallington Hall in Northumberland was one of the Trevelyans' homes along with the confusingly similarly named Wallington Hall seven miles down the road. In 1929 when he acquired this set he was working on his most significant work England Under Queen Anne which was published the following year. unknown‎

"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
