Book excerpt: This unique collection of Edward Gibbon's history books, essays & autobiographical writings has been designed and formatted to the highest digital standards. Edward Gibbon (1737-1794) was an English historian and Member of Parliament. He is best known for his book, The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. The work covers the history of the Roman Empire, Europe, and the Catholic Church from 98 to 1590 and discusses the decline of the Roman Empire in the East and West. Because of its relative objectivity and heavy use of primary sources, unusual at the time, its methodology became a model for later historians. This led to Gibbon being called the first modern historian of ancient Rome.

Download or read book Memoirs of My Life written by Edward Gibbon and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2006-06-29 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward Gibbon was one of the world's greatest historians and a towering figure of his age. When he died in 1794 he left behind the unfinished drafts of his Memoirs, which were posthumously edited by his friend Lord Sheffield, and remain an astonishing portrait of a rich, full life. Recounting Gibbon's sickly childhood in London, his disappointment with an Oxford 'steeped in port and prejudice', his successful years in Lausanne, his first and only love affair and the monolithic achievement of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, he distils his genius for history into a remarkable gift for autobiography. Candid and detailed, these writings are filled with warmth and intellectual passion.

This book was released on 2017-01-09 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Autobiography and Correspondence of Edward Gibbon, the Historian Such are the hopes of authors l In the failure of those hopes John Gibbon has not been the first of his profession, and very possibly may not be the last of his name. His brother Matthew Gibbon, the draper, had one daughter and two sons - my grandfather Edward, who was born in the year 1666, and Thomas, afterwards Dean of Carlisle. According to the mercantile creed, that the best book is a profitable ledger, the writings of John the herald would be much less precious than those of his nephew Edward but an author professes at least to write for the public benefit; and the slow balance of trade can be pleasing to those persons only, to whom it is advantageous. The suc cessful industry 0 my grandfather raised him above the level of his immediate ancestors; he appears to have launched into various and extensive dealings even his 0 inions were subordinate to his interest; and I find him in Flanders c othing King William's troops, while he would have contracted with more pleasure, though not perhaps at a cheaper rate, for the service of King James. During his residence abroad, his concerns at home were managed by his mother Hester, an active and notable woman. Her second husband was awidower of the name of Acton: they united the children of their first nuptials. After his marriage with the daughter of Richard Acton, goldsmith in Leadeno hall-street, he gave his own sister to Sir Whitmore Acton, of Aldenham; and I am thus connected, by a triple alliance, with that ancient and loyal family of Shro shire baronets. It consisted about that time of seven brothers, all 0 gigantic stature; one of whom, a pigmy of six feet two inches, confessed himself the last and least of the seven; add ing, in the true spirit of party, that such men were not born since the Revolution. Under the Tory administration of the four last years of Queen Anne (1710 - 1714) Mr. Edward Gibbon was appointed one of the Commissioners of the Customs he sat at that Board with Prior; but the merchant was better qualified for his station than the poet; since Lord Bolingbroke has been heard to declare, that he had never conversed with a man, who more clearly understood the commerce and finances of England. In the year 1716 he was elected one of the Directors of the South Sea Com any; and his books exhibited the proof that, before his acceptance 0 this fatal office, he had acquired an independent fortune of sixty thousand pounds.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Edward Gibbon, Esq.: With an Essay The story of Gibbon's life as he himself tells it was first given to the world by his friend, Lord Sheffield, who included it among the author's Miscellaneous Works in an edition published after his death. He had left six sketches of several periods of his life; he was apparently quite satisfied with none of them; they varied in form, and were written Without regard to order of time. Lord Sheffield put them together, scru pulously respecting the text, and where they were too meagre, he sup plied material from the author's journals, and himself appended the notes, signed with an S. In this edition. He continued Gibbon's life from the point at which the Memoir leaves it, up to the time of his death, and he published with it a large number of his letters, running in date from 1756 to 1793; he preferred thus to let the author, as far as possible, tell his own story.
