About this book
Gibbon is by James Cotter Morison. The contents list names, among others, chapters titled At Lausanne, In the Militia and The Italian Journey. The text says Gibbon was thrust into untoward company by his careless father at the age of fifteen.
The text says the eighteenth century, though it opened with a bloody war, was essentially peaceful in spirit, and that governments made war but men and nations longed for rest. The text says increased interest in the past was shown by the publication, nearly contemporary, of the great historic collections of Rymer (A.D. 1704), Leibnitz (1707) and Muratori (1723). The text mentions the nuptials of Boniface, Duke or Marquis of Tuscany, celebrated on the banks of the Mincius.
