The 1994 conference Furious Flower: A Revolution in African American Poetry was one of the first if not the first academic conference dedicated entirely to Black poetry. Over 30 poets attended and the event was dedicated to the life and work of Gwendolyn Brooks. This and subsequent conferences derived their name from Brooks' poem "The Second Sermon on the Warpland" which reads "The time cracks into furious flower / Lifts its face all unashamed / And sways in wicked grace." A notable assemblage of poets from an important moment in Black culture; we find no copies in retail and fewer than ten holdings in OCLC.

Editor John Baker-Holroyd 1st Earl of Sheffield 1735-1821 Gibbon's close friend and literary executor remarks in the preface: "Few men have ever so fully unveiled their own character by a minute narrative of their sentiments and pursuits with a genuine confession of his little foibles and peculiarities and a good-humoured and natural display of his own conduct and opinions." These memoirs are most interesting for Gibbon's reflections on the development of his 'History' which sparked so much outrage from the public and the Church relative to its historical treatment of Christianity. They are also rich in commentary about his contemporaries and the political regimes in England and Revolutionary France. The two volumes are the first editions; a third volume was published separately in 1815 by John Murray. London. Printed for A. Strahan, and T. Cadell Jun. and W. Davies (Successors to Mr. Cadell) in the Strand. 1796 unknown
