Autobiography, a Collection of the Most Instructive and Amusing Lives Ever Published Volume 14 - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
The Editors of the Autobiography feel little explanation necessary in regard to their motives for an early publication, in this series, of the very interesting Memoirs of the celebrated author of the History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire Setting aside the great literary fame of Gibbon, the manner in which he has recorded the events of his life, and marked the formation of his character as a man and as a writer, has been deservedly regarded as in the highest degree both instructive and engaging. Assuming the most fascinating form of autobiography, the reader is conducted through all the stages of the life of a man of genius by himself; and that with a candour and an ingenuousness as rare as they are agreeable.
(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
