    Extractions: Edward Gibbon (1737-1794) was an 18th Century British historian and the author of "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire," one of the few historical works of the modern era to stand comparison with the great classical works of Herodotus, Thucydides and Tacitus both as history and as literature. The comparison with Proust is particularly appropriate, since both Gibbon and Proust made the same (arguable) mistake. Roughly midway through the writing of their respective books, they decided to reconceive their scale. This ended up making their books more than twice as long as they would have been if they'd followed their original conceptions. Without a doubt, this has had the effect of cutting their potential readership in at least half. A lot of people who would read a book of half a million words will balk at attempting a book of a million and a half.

    http://www.blupete.com/Literature/Biographies/History/Gibbon.htm
    
    Extractions: He was the son of an English country gentleman and was educated at Magdalen College, Oxford; and, as Chamber's points out, "he derived little benefit from either." After schooling in Lausanne, Switzerland (during which time he was to fall in love with the parson's daughter, and to which his father put a quick end) the young Gibbon returned to London where he took up residence in his father's household and found the leisure for scholarly study and bookish solitude. Gibbon's cynicism, in regards to history, viz., "little more than the register of the crimes, follies and misfortunes of mankind" added "a spice to the work which relates it to literature rather than history. His accuracy in the use of his sources has not been questioned." ( Chamber's .) Gibbon's major work, of course was his multi-volumed written through the years, 1776 to 1787 and is the standard history on the Roman civilization. Gibbon was to write an autobiography. [UP] QUOTES:- History:- History is little more than the register of the crimes, follies and misfortunes of mankind. Revolution:- ... our tranquillity has been clouded by the disorders in France ... the revolution, or rather the dissolution of the kingdom, has been heard and felt in the adjacent lands.
