For the next 10 years he worked away at his great history, which traces the decadence of the late empire from the time of the Antonines and the rise of Western Christianity.

Despite these obstacles, Decline and Fall remains a model of historical exposition, and required reading for students of European history. Book Description Download Description "It was Rome, on the 15th of October 1764, as I sat musing amid the ruins of the Capitol, while the barefooted friars were singing vespers in the temple of Jupiter, that the idea of writing the decline and fall of the city first started to my mind," recorded Edward Gibbon with characteristic exactitude.

First edition of his first original publication in English. In the Critical observations, Gibbon launched an anonymous attack on Bishop Warburton's allegorical interpretation of Aeneid VI. His assault is learned and comprehensive, but Gibbon was later to express regret at his tone. The prose style is somewhat unrestrained, with liberal use of capitals for emphasis, and shows signs of his later stateliness and pomposity. Like most of Gibbon's early publications, the Critical observations is very uncommon. Norton 14; Rothschild 941.

For quite a long time it was the standard history on the Roman civilization and continues to be used and read to this day. Despite such a contribution to the field of historiography, Gibbon's opinion about history always remained cynical: History is little more than the register of the crimes, follies and misfortunes of mankind. Gibbon's prose style is rather elaborate and ornate, something which makes it difficult for many readers to get through his books. Indeed, some have condemned his writing as atrocious, but you can judge for yourself from this, the opening paragraph: Gibbon is also unusual in that the footnotes play such an important role in his work.

As was the tradition with upper class English families, he came to Switzerland to complete his education. The young man studied at the faculty of law, language and history in Lausanne , where he also frequented the literary salons to read the foreign press and play whist. He fell head over heels with the pastor's daughter, Suzanne Curchod, and wanted to marry her, but her father was categorically opposed. Gibbon had to resign himself to a life of celibacy. The young man thus left the city to forget his sorrows, only to return five years later. He wrote his life's work
