EDWARD GIBBON.

Previous

Born 1737.—Died 1794.—George II.—George III.

A celebrated historian, whose chief work was the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, a standard and classical work; the only fault in which is that it contains an attack on the Christian religion. It was written chiefly at Lausanne, in Switzerland, where he often stayed.
