Item description from seller

Book club edition. Very good hardcover in fair jacket. Jacket rubbed and creased with some tears and loss from corners. 1960 Hard Cover. 924 pp. Map illustrated endpapers. The classic abridgment by D.M. Low. "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire was written by English historian Edward Gibbon and published in six volumes. Volume I was published in 1776, and went through six printings. Volumes II and III were published in 1781; volumes IV, V, VI in 1788 - 89. The original volumes were published in quarto sections, a common publishing practice of the time. It stands as a major literary achievement of the 18th century because it was adopted as a model for the methodologies of modern historians. This led to Gibbon being called the first modern historian of Ancient Rome.
