‎Gibbon Edward‎

‎An essay on the study of literature. Written originally in French by Edward Gibbon Jun. Esq; now first translated into English‎

‎London: printed for T. Beckett and P.A. De Hondt 1764. 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. Norton 6; Rothschild 939: The translation was not made by Gibbon though it was announced as being prepared "under the inspection of the author" Norton p. 4. <br/><br/> printed for T. Beckett and P.A.

Contemporary calf rebacked to style red morocco spine labels raised bands compartments elaborately stamped in gilt.

Collating complete with engraved portrait frontispiece by Hall after Joshua Reynolds dated 1 February 1780 issued with the first edition of Volume II but bound in Volume I as usual; two engraved folding maps to Volume II and folding map to Volume III. All half titles and errata leaves present.

Scholars continue to discuss how Gibbon participates in eighteenth century trends of genre blurring and bending using paradigms of the romance novel alongside emerging modern scholarship to create a fascinating and readable history. Others note how "Gibbon's work occupies a peculiar position in the political and economic climate of the late eighteenth century because of its subject matter. The majority of the political structures considered in the Decline and Fall are absolutist monarchies dominated by the figure of the sacred king" -- a major contrast to the rise of democracies and the calls for economic mobility being made across Europe and the U.S. Cosgrove. An epic history in an incredibly addictive form the present is a beautiful clean and complete example.<br/><br/>PMM 222. Near Fine. W. Strahan and T. Cadell in the Strand unknown books‎

‎History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire‎

‎ìMasterpiece of Historical Penetration and Literary Styleî GIBBON Edward. The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. London: Printed for A. Strahan; and T. Cadell 1776-1788. First edition. Six volumes quarto 10 3/4 x 8 1/2 inches; 270 x 220 mm. Engraved portrait of Gibbon by Hall after Reynolds not usually found bound in volume II. With three engraved folding maps bound in volume II one of them normally found in volume III. With all the half titles and the errata leaves in Volumes I II III and VI Volume VI errata covers volumes IV V and VI. With twelve pages of Contents for Volume I at the beginning of Volume II. Volume I has more than half of the errata uncorrected which would make it an intermediate state. According to Sterling " Vol. I only was published in 1776. It was originally planned to print 500 copies of this first edition but after 26 sheets were completed it was decided to increase the number to 1000. The type of the earlier sheets had by that time been distributed so when they were set up again the opportunity was taken to correct the numerous errata and to print the text of the cancel leaves which for some unknown reason had been substituted for the original leaves. Vols. II and III were were published together in 1781." In Volume III p. 177 is correctly numbered and ìHonoriousî is left uncorrected on p. 179 line 18. G1 and Ll1 cancels in volume 2 signed G and Ll H3 and L2 cancels in volume 4 the latter signed L2. The engraved portrait of Gibbon was issued separately in 1780. Contemporary tree calf all volumes attractively and uniformly rebacked. Gilt spines with gilt tool in compartments morocco spine labels lettered in gilt and small morocco lozenge with volume numbers. All edges yellow. Extremities slightly rubbed. Some light intermittent foxing but generally very clean. Small bookplate on front pastedown of each volume. With a repaired closed tear to the last leaf of volume II. Overall a very good set. A ìmasterpiece of historical penetration and literary styleî Gibbonís Decline and Fall brought to the subject a width of vision and a critical mastery of the available sources which have not been equaled to this day. "This masterpiece of historical penetration and literary style has remained one of the ageless historical works which like the writings of Macaulay and Mommsen maintain their hold upon the layman and continue to stimulate the scholar although they have been superseded in many if not most details by subsequent advance of research and changes in the climate of opinion. Whereas other eighteenth-century writers in this field such as Voltaire are still quoted with respect the Decline and Fall is the only historical narrative prior to Macaulay which continues to be reprinted and actually read" Printing and the Mind of Man. Although superseded in many respects by two centuries of continuous research this great work is still read both for pleasure and for profit and has achieved an eminence denied most historical compilations of its kind.
