GIBBON, Edward. The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire … A New Edition [vols II-III The Second Edition]. London: Printed for A. and W. Strahan; and T. Cadell. 1781-88.

Six volumes, 4to. Contemporary tree calf, all volumes, neatly rebacked in the middle of the 20th century with endpapers renewed, red morocco lettering-pieces, ornamented in gilt; engraved portrait after Reynolds, 2 large folding engraved maps and a smaller map, all by Thomas Kitchin; a little wear to boards, only very occasionally minimal toning or spotting; a very good, clean set.

First editions of Volumes IV-VI, early editions of Volumes I-III.

The most celebrated historical work in English literature. "Gibbon's great erudition, breadth of treatment, and powerful organization render this a lasting monument, of substantial accuracy as well as elegance … most of Gibbon's scholarship remains unchallenged" (Oxford Companion to English Lit.). "This masterpiece of historical penetration and literary style has remained one of the ageless historical works" (PMM 222). In 1788 Gibbon's friend Adam Smith wrote that "by the universal assent of every man of taste and learning. [Decline and Fall] sets you at the very head of the whole literary tribe at present existing in Europe" (ODNB). By explaining the role Christianity played in "weakening" the Roman Empire Gibbon's opus magnum landed on the Papal Index and remained there until the Index librorum prohibitorum was abolished in 1966.

Collation: Vol. I without half-title (probably not issued) and without errata found for other volumes.

Provenance: Pictorial bookplates Maria Therese and Stephen Bardos inside front covers. Later sold by Sotheran's (small stamps in the margins of front fly-leaves).

These work!
Size: M (up to size 9)-Beige
I’ve had dry cracked feet my whole life. Tried these last night with lotion from Trader Joe’s and literally overnight my feet are the softest they’ve ever been. I put a pair of socks over them and went to sleep with them on. Hard to walk around with all that slippery-ness but worth it! 10/10✨👌

Stains easily. Tight for men's size 11 feet
Flavor Name: XL silicone socks 2 pairs, Flavor Name: XL silicone socks 2 pairs
Husband wore dark cotton socks over these gel foot covers overnight and the covers picked up color from the socks. Tried hand washing, even dabbing with a bleach soaked paper towel, but the stains remained. The covers are a bit tight for men's size 11. Edit: After a few more hand washings the stains began to fade. However one tore around the leg opening when taking it off.

Worthless. Tore on first use.
Flavor Name: XL silicone socks 2 pairs
The first time I put these on my feet, the whole toe broke right through. They were a proper fit and my feet are well pedicured. Just very poor quality. I don’t recommend.
