While Sheffield later published an expanded edition of GibbonÕs letters and memoirs his concern for his friendÕs privacy persisted throughout his life and he forbid in his will the publication of any additional papers. He writes in his preface to the Miscellaneous Works ÒFew men I believe have ever so fully unveiled their own character by a minute narrative of their sentiments and pursuits as Mr. Gibbon will here be found to have done; not with study and labour-not with an affected frankness-but with a genuine confession of his little foibles and peculiarities and a good-humoured and natural display of his own conduct and opinions.Ó Norton 131.
