1983réf. 050164London: The Folio Society 1983. Hardcover. Near Fine/Slip-cased. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. 8th Printing from 2001. The books are near fine. The two slipcase have some marks and scuffs. Substantial postage. A superb eight volume edition of Gibbons History of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. First published in 1776 and completed in 1788. Edited and with introduction by Betty Radice. The text used is reproduced from the Everyman Edition 1910 published by J M Dent and Son. Edward Gibbon is one of the greatest of the historians of the Enlightenment. Two centuries of massive scholarship and constant intellectual evolution have inevitably left many marks on Roman Byzantine and even more on medieval European history. It remains a remarkable fact that anyone who wishes to study the later Roman or Byzantine Empire will still find Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire the best as well as the most readable narrative of it.

Cloth a little bumped at the extremities; endpapers a little foxed; edges slightly marlked; a very good copy internally excellent with the excellent dustwrapper slightly bumped. Edward Gibbon Wakefield 1796-1862 author and colonial promoter 'was an enigma to his contemporaries as he is to posterity. Denied office by his criminal record in 1827 he was sentenced to three years imprisonment in Newgate he devoted his energy to schemes for systematic colonization and responsible government. Not content only to influence men's minds by his pen he sought directly to influence their actions as well. His personal magnetism and imaginative zeal won him many converts but much disappointment when he found that people could not be controlled like puppets. His idealism would not allow him to compromise and when he ignored the principles of others their reactions were often bitter. In his restless search to achieve his objectives he ranged through the whole spectrum of English politics and society utilitarian radicals Whigs and High Church Tories and left behind him some claim to success in penal reform immigration to New South Wales the Durham report and the colonization of South Australia and New Zealand. The factious conclusion to his career and his obscure death have given to his life a certain tragic perspective although some writers have credited him with high rank as an architect of the British Commonwealth' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'.
