Jacket rubbed and creased with some tears and loss from corners. 1960 Hard Cover. 924 pp. Map illustrated endpapers. The classic abridgment by D.M. Low. "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire was written by English historian Edward Gibbon and published in six volumes. Volume I was published in 1776 and went through six printings. Volumes II and III were published in 1781; volumes IV V VI in 1788 - 89. The original volumes were published in quarto sections a common publishing practice of the time. It stands as a major literary achievement of the 18th century because it was adopted as a model for the methodologies of modern historians. This led to Gibbon being called the first modern historian of Ancient Rome. Harcourt, Brace and Company hardcover books

Rubbing toning and creasing to covers corners and edges of unclipped dust jacket. Bound in yellow cloth over boards. Rubbing toning and bumps to covers corners and edges of binding. Dust-spotting to edges of text block. Pages are free of marks and notation. Binding is firm and sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: Whilst a great deal of sensuous photography of women involves nudity it does not follow that all photography of the nude is necessarily sensuous or that all sensuous photography must feature nudes. Clothing pose and setting even the idea behind the picture can impart a feeling of sensuality. Although it would be quite possible to produce a book on sensuous photography which features subjects excluding the human form this particular volume of photographs seeks to celebrate the sensuousness of woman. The photographs are presented to be admired for their own sake and hopefully also to provide inspiration to those interested in this particular branch of photography.Publisher.
