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

1796réf. 135133London: Printed for A. Strahan and T. Cadell Jun. and W. Davies 1796. First edition of Gibbon’s memoirs letters and additional works posthumously collected and published by his closest friend John Baker Holroyd 1st Earl of Sheffield. Quarto bound in three quarters morocco over marbled boards morocco spine labels lettered in gilt elaborate gilt tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands engraved frontispiece portrait of Gibbon. In near fine condition. A very attractive example of one of the first modern autobiographies published in the English language. When Gibbon died in 1794 he left his personal papers to Lord Sheffield who carefully selected and edited them. “Few 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.” Gibbon's Memoirs are considered one of the first autobiographies in the modern sense of the word and have a secure place in the canon of English literature. Printed for A. Strahan, and T. Cadell Jun. and W. Davies hardcover
