Excerpt from History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Vol. 7 of 12 I now discharge my promise, and com plete my design of writing the History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Em pire, both in the West and the East. The whole period extends from the age of Trajan and the Antonines, to the taking of Constantinople by Mahomtet II; and includes a review of the crusades and the state of Rome during the middle ages. Since the publication of the first volume, twelve years have elapsed; twelve years, according to my wish, of health, of lei sure, and of perseverance. I may now congratulate my deliverance from a long and laborious service, and my satisfaction will be pure and perfect, if the public fa vour should be extended to the conclusion of my work.

Excerpt from The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Vol. 1 of 8 But the amplitude, the magnificence, or the harmony of design, are, though imposing, yet unworthy claims on our admiration, unless the details are filled up with correctness and accuracy. No writer has been more severely tried on this point than Gibbon. He has undergone the triple scru tiny of theological zeal quickened by just resentment - of li terary emulation - and of that mean and invidious vanity which delights in detecting errors in writers of established fame. On the result of the trial we may be permitted to summon competent witnesses before we deliver our own judgment.
