GIBBON PAPERS. Vols. III.-VI. Journals of Edward Gibbon; 17 Aug. 1762-Dec. 1764. Written partly in French, partly in English. Autograph. Four volumes. There were originally five, beginning with 24 Aug. 1761, but the first volume is now lost. Excerpts were printed by Lord Sheffield in two portions of his edition of Gibbon's Works, viz. biographical particulars in the notes to the memoir (vol. i. of each edition), and literary and historical memoranda separately (vol. ii. ed. 1796, vol. v. ed. 1814). The former has the French text with a translation, the latter the translation only. Paper. Octavo.
