On the death of Edward Gibbon (1737–94), his unpublished papers were left to his friend John Baker Holroyd, first earl of Sheffield, who published them in two volumes in 1796. Volume 1 contains a biography, compiled by Sheffield from Gibbon's six autobiographical manuscripts and some of his letters.
