6 volumes. Printed for A. Strahan ; and . Cadell, In The Strand, London 1782,1787, 1787, 1788,1788, 1788. Frontespiece portrait+ (20)+ 704 pages + 2 foldable maps ['The Eastern Part' and 'The Western Part'; the latter with a couple of small holes to the Baltic Sea]; (12)+640 + small foldable map of Constantinoble; (12)+640; (4)+VIII+(8)+620; (12)+684); (14)+646+(52) pages. Bound in contemporary half calf bindings; spines professionally rebacked. Side paper a bit rubbed, and with a bit of edgewear here and there. The interior is nice and clean, with only occasional and scarce foxing here and there. The half titles are present.. Names to the flyleaves ['Robert Stephens'] Bookplates inserted ['Darell/ Trewornan, Cornwall']. Nice, tight set, that appears unread.

* Printing and the Mind of Man 222. Volume 1-3 later printings ['New Edition'], vol. 4-6 first editions. A set brought together from various print runs is by no means uncommon: The first print run of volume I of 500 copies was doubled by Strahan upon reading the manuscript - and even the 1000 copies were sold out in two weeks. Full first edition sets are scarce and very expensive.
** One of the milestones of historical writing. Gibbon has inspired and enlightened numerous generations on antiquity and the Middle Ages [the work covers the time from the Death of Marcus Aurelius in 180 AD to the Fall of Constantinople in 1453], and even though many of his ideas and chronologies have later been rebuked, the majestic and ground breaking work is still in print and read today.
