HISTORY OF THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE

Edward Gibbon, Esq.

With notes by the Rev. H. H. Milman

Complete Contents

1782 (Written), 1845 (Revised)

The 1996 Project Gutenberg Edition
Table of Contents for Ebooks 731-736
HTML file in the ASCII character set, and includes all the original
footnotes now linked to the text.

The 1997 Project Gutenberg Edition
Table of Contents for Ebooks 890-895
HTML file in the LATIN-1 character set, but the first five volumes do
not have footnotes.

There are two Project Gutenberg sets produced by David Reed of the
complete "History Of The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire" by
Edward Gibbon: the 1996 ASCII text only edition (PG #731-736) has the
advantage of including all the foonotes by Gibbin and others; the 1997
edition (PG #890-895)in the Latin-1 character set was provided at that
time only in html format and footnotes were not included in the first
five volumes of this set.

Both of these sets have been recently completely reproofed with
correction of several thousand errors. An html and text format have
been provided for both sets. The HTML version of the earlier set has
approximately 6000 linked footnotes. Over 1000 linked footnotes were
prepared for the last volume of the latter set in this updated edition.

Consideration was given to combining these two sets into one, however
there are advantages and disadvantages to each and it was decided to
keep both.
