Letters To Edward Gibbon (1785) is a book written by George Travis. The book is a collection of letters written to Edward Gibbon, an English historian and Member of Parliament, by Travis. The letters are a response to Gibbon's book, The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, which was published in six volumes between 1776 and 1788. Travis was a theologian and scholar who took issue with some of the content in Gibbon's work, particularly his treatment of Christianity. In his letters, Travis argues against Gibbon's claims and provides his own perspective on the history of the Roman Empire, as well as the role of Christianity in its decline. The book offers a fascinating insight into the intellectual debates of the time, as well as the religious and political tensions that existed in 18th century England. Overall, Letters To Edward Gibbon (1785) is an important historical document that sheds light on the intellectual and cultural landscape of the late 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
