The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire traces the trajectory of Western civilisation from the height of the Roman Empire to the fall of Byzantium and therefore spans a nearly 1500 year period from 98 to 1590 of the Roman Empire. Therefore Gibbon discusses the history of early Christianity the Roman State Church as well as the history of Europe. The popularity of this work rests on Gibbon's objectivity and heavy use of primary sources. In the eighteenth century the use of primary sources for historical was very rare which was why his work was extremely popular. His methodology also became a model for later historians. Edward Gibbon wrote many historical works but is best known for this title. This is due to its quality the use of primary sources as well as the open criticism of organised religions. The work earned him a reputation as the first modern historian of Ancient Rome. In uniform cloth bindings. Externally generally smart. Externally generally smart.

1876rif. 34851Philadelphia: Claxton Remsen & Haffelfinger 1876. 6 volumes. A new edition to which is added a complete index of the whole work. With an engraved portrait frontispiece in volume one with tissue guard. 8vo in period bindings of three-quarter polished brown calf over marbled paper covered boards the spines very handsomely gilt tooled with a lattice in two compartments gilt lettering in two others and fine gilt tooling around a central gilt flower device in one other these all separated by delicately gilt stippled raised bands marbled endpapers and page edges. A nicely preserved set the text completely free of any foxing stains or spotting looking largely unused the bindings are firm and solid with strong hinges the calf with a little rubbing and general wear but with bright gilt. A very handsome set in contemporary bindings of the greatest historical work ever undertaken. The text is largely that of John Murray's 1846 edition and embodies the important notes of Rev. Milman. It was in Italy while "musing amid the ruins of the Capital" that Gibbon formed the plan of his history. Originally published in six volumes from 1776 to 1788 Gibbon's fine scholarship has remained for the most part unchallenged. The work's numerous reprintings throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries are evidence of its popularity and historical accuracy. "For twenty-two years Gibbon was a prodigy of steady and arduous application. His investigations extended over almost the whole range of intellectual activity for nearly fifteen-hundred 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 pp. 146-147. The success of the work was immediate. "I am at a loss" Gibbon wrote "how to describe the success of the work without betraying the vanity of the writer. The first impression was exhausted in 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 on every toilette." Publication of this grand work placed Gibbon at the "very head of the literary tribe" in Europe according to Adam Smith.
