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
