réf. 7799Dublin. Printed for W. and H. Whitestone J. Williams W. Colles. 1779. First Irish edition. 158pp. Bound in contemporary tree calf rebacked in modern calf with original lettering piece laid down. Some v. occ. light foxing o/w a clean and sound volume. Very scarce. Norton 32. A reprint of the first London edition with the corrections made. Gibbon unlike many writers did read the criticisms of his works. Copies of many of the attacks on 'The History of the Decline and Fall.' were found in his library when he died. It was an attack by one of the least worthy of his critcs that lead Gibbon to write 'A Vindication'. Davis of Oxford was only twenty-one but it was he who questioned Gibbon's honesty and reliability as an historian. Gibbon felt this was a criminal accusation. "Mr. Davies sic of Oxford presumed to attack not the faith but the good faith of the historian". 'A Vindication.' was priced at 2s 6d and sold out within a few weeks. While it failed to silence his opponents it was very well received generally. unknown

Though originally published in French in 1761 Gibbon wrote most of this essay in 1758 while only 21. The translator has never been identified but was probably a professional hired by Becket. Gibbon was not happy with it though it was advertised as being prepared 'under the inspection of the author'. He states "had my feelings been more exquisite I might have wept over its blunders and baldness." Also from his journal January 11th 1763. " From thence I went to Becket paid him his bill fifty-four pounds and gave him back his translation. It must be printed tho' very indifferent. My comfort is that my misfortune is not an uncommon one." One of the 'best' mistakes quoted by Norton is the rendering of "si la physique a ses Buffons" by "if Physics hath its buffoons." unknown

It was only published due to his fathers urging. The dedication to his father is both sincere and touching. The book mostly due to being written in French was more successful abroad than in England. The publishers covered the costs of producing the book and took the profits Gibbon retained the copyright and received a number of free copies. According to Norton 42 copies were made available to Gibbon. 21 copies were presented by the author to several eminent characters in England and France one was presented to the Duke of York and 20 were given by the author to his friends in Lausanne.

FIRST EDITION FIRST STATE OF THIS ÔMASTERPIECE OF HISTORICAL PENETRATION AND LITERARY STYLE' which remains despite the numerous later works devoted to this voluminous subject 'the only historical narrative prior to Macaulay which continues to be reprinted and actually read' PMM. During the publication of the first edition Strahan predicted the popularity of the work and doubled the print run from 500 to 1000 copies entailing resetting of sheets. Strahan's instincts proved correct and the entire first thousand copies sold out in a fortnight. Royal provenance --each volume has the armorial bookplate of the Chapter Library at Windsor Castle with the motto 'Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense' and a shield with a cross. There is a stamp beneath stating 'From the Chapter Library at Windsor Castle Sold by the order of the Dean and Canons January 1948.' A later card is tipped in of T D Weldon 1896-1958 of Magdalen College Oxford presumably the 1948 buyer of the set. He was a philosopher fellow of the college friend of CS Lewis. Magdalen College was also Edward Gibbon's old alma mater. He went there in 1752.
