‎Gibbon Edward; Bruce James‎

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

‎London: Printed for A. Strahan; and T. Cadell in the Strand 1790. Mixed octavo edition of Edward Gibbon's monumental history following the trajectory of the Roman Empire from the death of Marcus Aurelius to the fall of Constantinople thirteen centuries later an epic feat of historiography that took twenty years to complete. Gibbon's narrative drive and pointed analysis found an immediate readership at home and abroad: "This long peace and the uniform government of the Romans introduced a slow and secret poison into the vitals of the empire. The minds of men were gradually reduced to the same level the fire of genius was extinguished and even the military spirit evaporated. . . . they no longer possessed that public courage which is nourished by the love of independence the sense of national honour the presence of danger and the habit of command." The first edition of Gibbon's history appeared in six quarto volumes issued from 1776 to 1788. In 1783 publishers Strahan and Cadell reissued the first half of the work in six octavo volumes; in 1790 they reissued the second half to complete the twelve-volume set. The first six volumes of this set are early octavo printings dated 1788; the final six volumes are first octavo printings dated 1790. This set belonged to Scottish explorer James Bruce Laird of Kinnaird who traveled widely throughout North Africa in the 1760s and 1770s. He was one of the first Europeans to trace the Blue Nile to its Ethiopian source in 1770 and the first to follow the Blue Nile to its confluence with the White Nile in Sennar now the Sudan. In 1790 the year that the final volumes of his Gibbon set were printed Bruce published his own Travels to Discover the Source of the Nile in five quarto volumes a classic of African exploration. PMM 222. A bright near-fine set with an excellent historical association bridging the Roman and British empires. Twelve octavo volumes measuring 8 x 5 inches. Contemporary polished calf raised bands spine compartments ruled in gilt red and green morocco spine labels all edges stained yellow. Frontispiece portrait of Gibbon after Joshua Reynolds and map of the Eastern empire in Volume I; two additional folding maps "Parts of Europe and Asia Adjacent to Constantinople" and map of the Western empire in Volume II; general index in Volume XII. Bookplate of James Bruce "Bruce of Kinnaird" and handwritten shelf mark "101" in all volumes; additional label "From Kinnaird 1897" and previous owner notes to front endpapers of Volume I. Occasional scuff to bindings spine ends rubbed chip to spine label of Volume II. Printed for A. Strahan; and T. Cadell, in the Strand unknown‎

‎London: John Murray 1887. Eight volumes octavo single portrait frontispiece 14 maps 12 folding and 5 coloured; understated half brown morocco gilt spine with raised bands. A most attractive set of Gibbon's opus first published in 1776 and here re-issued with notes by Dean Milman M. Guizot and William Smith. The first volume includes a portrait frontispiece of Gibbon by Sir Joshua Reynolds. The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire remains an intriguing work; although in some respects superseded by the following century of primarily German classical scholarship Gibbon style is fresh and intriguing and the historiographical questions he raises are effectively timeless.

‎The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire‎

‎London: Printed for W. Strahan; and T. Cadell 1777-78 1777. Six volumes: all First Editions except volume I the Third Edition. Large quarto. Pp. vi 14 704; 12 640 2 errata leaf; 12 640 2 errata leaf; 4 viii 8 620; 12 684; 14 646 51 index 1 errata. Engraved frontis portrait of Gibbon by John Hall after Joshua Reynolds 3 folding maps. With half-titles in all volumes except volume I and all errata leaves. Contemporary polished calf recently rebacked with gilt rules between raised bands and original lettering pieces laid down. Minor scratches to covers corners and edges moderately worn very occasional toning and spotting to leaves early signature on margin of title of volume I later bookplates in all volumes. Overall an excellent set clean and crisp internally in suitably restored bindings. This set is comprised of First Editions of all volumes except for the first volume which is from the Third Edition. Gibbon's masterful history of the Roman Empire was issued in six quarto volumes over the course of twelve years between 1776 and 1788. Modest expectations on the part of both author and publisher regarding the market for such an imposing work resulted in an initial printing of only 1000 copies of the original printing. This proved a serious miscalculation of the demand and subsequently made complete sets of the first edition difficult to come by. Within a fortnight the first edition was completely sold out. "I am at a loss" wrote Gibbon in his Memoirs "how to describe the success of the work without betraying the vanity of the writer. The first impression was exhausted within a few days; a second and third edition were scarcely adequate to the demand and the bookseller's property was twice invaded by the pyrates of Dublin. My book was on every table and almost every toilette; the historian was crowned by the taste or fashion of the day." Gibbon Miscellaneous Works and Memoirs. 2nd ed. London 1814 Vol. I. p. 223. The third edition appeared in 1777 a year after the first and second printings. Issued in an edition of 1000 copies it was more fully revised and corrected than the second which merely incorporated the errata. At the suggestion of Gibbon's friend David Hume the copious notes which previously had been gathered in the rear of the volume were now transferred to the bottom of the page. This improved format was continued throughout the remaining volumes. In combining the third edition of the first volume with the first edition of the remainder as in the present case a uniformly annotated set is thereby achieved. In 1780 the frontis portrait of Gibbon engraved by John Hall after a painting of Joshua Reynolds was issued by the publisher. With the publication of the second and third volumes in 1781 an enlarged table of contents was made available for the first volume as well as 3 folding maps all present in this copy. The map of Constantinople was frequently cropped to make it the same size as the printed page and then bound in sideways. Fewer copies exist among them the present where the wide margins were retained and the map bound in folded and the right way up. Norton J. E. A Bibliography of the Works of Ed. Gibbon. Oxford 1940.
