THE HISTORY OF THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE. BY EDWARD GIBBON, Esq. Complete in 4 vols. 8vo. With Engravings.

This Stereotyped Edition of Gibbon's Rome is well printed on a good sized type, and contains the necessary Maps, and is, in all respects, perfect. These facts are stated, because most of the London editions new offered for sale in this country are without the necessary Maps, &c., and are printed on a type so small that it is injurious to the eyes to read them. Yet, with all these disadvantages, they are sold at a higher price than this American Edition.
