There's no argument that his writing is eloquent. When compared to other writers of his period, it doesn't appear any more or less spectacular. I'd rather spend 10 bucks and get some Samuel Pepys than 100 to get some Gibbon. <p><br><i>SI HOC LEGERE POTES, OPERIS BONI IN REBVS LATINIS FRVCTVOSIS POTIRI POTES.</i></p><i></i>
