This is a wonderful set of the perfect Decline and Fall. The books are hardbound and full-sized, not a flimsy paperback. Looks fantastic on my bookshelf!

Establish in a letter dated 13th February 1844 from my fantastic-fantastic-fantastic-uncle George Mackenzie in India to his sister Alice in Scotland: “Have you ever read Gibbon’s Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire? I am very fond of it for many reasons. It is a grand book and to read it permanently makes me feel as if my life extended thousands as a replacement for of tens of years and as if I could trace out the revolutions of Empires. It is perfectly written and the English of it is to my taste particularly elegant, and except where Gibbon’s judgement was obscured by his prejudice, it is right as history can be. His reasonings from the fantastic events which he relates are generally language very right and I have heard that there is hardly a better guide for a politician than that history. What an immensely long duration the time of it is – from the year 90 after Christ till the year 1490 or thereabouts in fact nearly down to our own times. It is a fantastic ornament to my bookcase and I regularly read it & prefer it to any novel whatsoever.” So the 5 stars are on behalf of Uncle George who sadly died later in 1844 aged 25.
