There, too, he became engaged to Suzanne Curchod, later to become wife to Jacques Necker and mother to After he returned to England he began writing, beginning with his ). But his writing career was interrupted by a four-year stint in the Hampshire militia. In Gibbon was in Rome, where he was struck with the idea for what became his greatest work, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire . The first volume appeared in , and the series was finished in . The famous chapters 15 and 16 attracted the most attention; in them he criticizes the institutions of early Christianity, and earned for himself the reputation of an atheist, which he hoped to combat in his Vindication of .

Quote from Edward Gibbon "In the end more than they wanted freedom, they wanted security.
When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society
but for society to give to them,
when the freedom they wished for
was freedom from responsibility,
then Athens ceased to be free."

Edward Gibbon
Edward Gibbon (1737 - January 16, 1794) was a groundbreaking historian, author of The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire . He was born in Putney, ear London, England into a relatively well-to-do but not wealthy country family. His family had an estate in Hampshire. He was an only child, and after his mother died while he was 10 years old, he was raised by an aunt. His health while a boy was rather poor. When he was 14 years of age, his father sent him away to school at the University of Oxford. He later wrote that his father, out of "perplexity rather than prudence, without preparation or delay, carried me to Oxford, and I was matriculated in the university, as a gentleman commoner of Magdalen college, before I had accomplished the fifteenth year of my age".

A good style is not very common; thorough information is still rare; and if these meet, what a chance that impartiality should be added to them!" The English historian Edward Gibbon, who died 200 years ago, did not quite meet the last test, but neither did his Roman predecessor Tacitus, who alone can stand with him among the world's supreme historians.

Smartboard Biographies Edward Gibbon, 1737-1794 EDWARD GIBBON was the eldest of seven children born to Edward Gibbon and Julia Porten, and their only child to survive infancy. He attributed his survival to the affectionate care of his aunt, Catherine Porten, "the true mother of my mind as well as my health." It was she who encouraged him in his "invincible love of reading," which he pursued widely in his grand-father's library until his "indiscriminate appetite subsided by degrees in the historic line." Gibbon's early schooling had been irregular and frequently interrupted by illness. Then, suddenly, as he approached his sixteenth year, "his disorders wonderfully vanished." Shortly afterwards his father sent him to Oxford. Here he received neither instruction nor companionship, finding the boys frivolous, the dons indolent, and his fourteen months at the university "the most idle and unprofitable" of his whole life. In the course of his solitary literary rambles during these fourteen months, Gibbon became converted to Catholicism. He wrote to his father of the step, and the elder Gibbon, with the impetuosity that seems to have characterised his dealings with his son, sent the sixteen-year-old youth to Lausanne. Here under the tutelage of the Calvinist minister, M. Pavilliard, young Gibbon repudiated his Catholicism and followed a carefully supervised program of studies with particular emphasis on the French and Latin classics and on the mastery of these languages. At the age of twenty, Gibbon fell in love with Suzanne Curchod, who found his unprepossessing appearance
