Author: GIBBON (Edward):
Title: History of the Saracen Empire. [And] History of the Saracens, by Simon Ockley.
Description: London: Alex. Murray and Son…, 1870. FIRST EDITION. 8vo, pp. 450 2 + 16 pp. adverts, original cloth; title-page a little stained. The only clue to the juxtaposition of these two texts, the first extracted from Gibbon's Decline and Fall is a note on the verso of the title-page: "This composite volume contains the graphic pages of Gibbon, and the quaint details of Ockley - authorities on the subject, and carefully edited by A. Murray."
