[EDWARD GIBBON]

MR. GIBBON'S HISTORY OF THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE, ABRIDGED. In Two volumes.

London, A. Strahan and T. Cadell 1790, . Complete two volume set, bound in full period calf. 8vo, Pagination: volume I, [blank 2], [vii]-xi, blank, 569, [blank 5]; volume II, [blank 2], [v]-xi, blank, 562, [blank 5].
¶ The Oxford Companion to English Literature calls "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" the most celebrated historical work in English literature (p. 261). Gibbon (1727-1794) formed his plan of the "History" during a tour of Italy in 1764-65. The first volume was issued in 1776 (in quarto size), followed by volumes II and III in 1781, and the last three volumes in 1788. The work covers the period from the age of Trajan and the Antoines to the taking of Constantinople by the Turks in 1453. The work was abridged, and published in two volumes, in 1789 and again in 1790, this latter printing being done by A. Strahan and T. Cadell. Both printings are virtually identical, except that there is supposedly a reference in the "Advertisement" following the title page of volume I, stating that the abridgement has been carried out "for the youthful mind". Our set contains a somewhat different statement: "..the author flatters himself that what remains will be found instructive to the youthful, and interesting to the curious, mind". It is tempting to conjecture that the reference to the "author" can mean none other than Gibbon himself (he was still alive) and not to one of the editors to whom this abridgement is sometimes attributed (e.g. J. B. Bury, Charles Hereford, Alexander Adams, or John Adams). If that is the case, then it would mean this abridgement was authorized, if not carried out, by Gibbon himself. See ESTC N10232, Norton 101, Lowndes 885, WorldCat (OCLC) 79996470. Both volumes show light wear. The joints are tender, but the contents clean and tight. A good plus set.

[WAKEFIELD, EDWARD GIBBON]

A Statement of the Objects of the New Zealand Association, with some particulars concerning the Position, Extent, Soil and Climate, Natural Productions, and Natives of New Zealand

London: C. Boworth and Sons, 1837. First Edition. Hardcover. A faulty copy of a scarce title. The two maps and two of the text leaves are supplied in facsimile. One of the maps has been pasted down over page 3, covering up all of text on that page. 8, 27 pages. 19th century half-leather and marbled papered boards. Page dimensions: 203 x 126mm. Heavy rubbing to leather at corners and spine. Moderate dampstains throughout. A two page autograph letter from the Australian collector William Crowther, dated 1956, tipped in at rear. This book does not have the full title page imprint given in Bagnall and Hocken, but only "London: 1837". The title page also has the early ink annotation: "Proof Copy [H.?] C." [Henry Chapman?]. Possibly an earlier issue? The imprint on the verso of page 27 is: "London: C. Boworth and Sons, Bell Yard, Temple Bar." This book is from the outstanding collection of the collector Arthur Thomas Pycroft (1875-1971). Pycroft's collection was recently sold at auction in Auckland, New Zealand. [Bibliographical References: Hocken page 63 - "The first published utterance of the Association."; Bagnall 5811] ; 8vo. Fair with no dust jacket .
