1796rif. 168797Basel: Printed and sold by J. J. Tourneisen 1796-97. First continental edition following the original London publication by Cadell & Davies earlier that year. The work includes the first appearance of Gibbon's autobiography titled the Memoirs of My Life which created the image of Gibbon which so fascinated the 19th century. Gibbon died in 1794 leaving his papers to John Baker Holroyd Lord Sheffield 1735-1821 then serving on the Board of Agriculture. Sheffield faced a monumental task not least in collating six different manuscripts of the Memoirs into one. Besides the autobiography Sheffield's edition collects much of Gibbon's correspondence several of his essays including one defending his arguments in the Decline and Fall and extracts from his journal. J. J. Tourneisen specialized in producing pirated versions of British and Scottish Enlightenment works for the continental market.

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
