Miscellaneous Works of Edward Gibbon
The English historian Edward Gibbon (1737–1794) is known primarily as the author of the magisterial ''The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire'' (6 vols., 1776–1789). Both the imposing length of and awesome erudition displayed in that work have understandably overshadowed his other literary achievements, many of which deserve to be noted in their own valuable capacities.
==Description==
Shortly following Gibbon's death, his good friend and literary executor, John Lord Sheffield undertook to edit and in 1796 published the first (of three) edition(s) of the ''Miscellaneous Works of Edward Gibbon'' (''MW'')〔the full title of 1796 (and in square brackets, that of 1814) is, ''() Miscellaneous Works of Edward Gibbon, Esquire; () with Memoirs of his Life and Writings, composed by himself.() Illustrated from his Letters, with occasional notes and narrative, by (Right Honourable ) John, Lord Sheffield. in Two Volumes (New Edition, with Considerable Additions in Five Volumes )''.〕 in order that the reading public have an opportunity to gain a broader insight into the historian and his overall body of work. Various elements of the ''MW'', as well as other Gibbon writings not contained therein, are listed below along with their pertinent bibliographical detail and descriptive text where available. Notes and letters from Sheffield were also included in the ''MW'', but only Gibbon's writings follow here. Listed contents are exactly those from each volume's table as they appear in the Google Books digitized copies. Links to those copies are provided below. Where publisher and year follows a work the reference is to the year of its first publication apart from the ''MW''. A year following alone (with or without a scholar's name) refers to the year of Gibbon's composition.〔sources for this data are Sheffield's tables of contents; Norton, ''Biblio''; Craddock, ''EEEG''; and Ghosh, "Gibbon's Dark Ages."〕 An asterisk () denotes that the work can be found in Craddock, ''EEEG''.
