THE FULL TITLE OF THE VOLUMES - 'THE HISTORY OF THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE' - TWO THICK BOOKS OF OVER 1000 PAGES EACH WRITTEN BY EDWARD GIBBON AND PUBLISHED BY GEORGE ROUTLEDGE AND SONS IN 1893. THEY ARE BOTH STAMPED 'HON. J.H. HOFMEYR CAPE TOWN' AND I BELIEVE THEY WERE PROBABLY OWNED BY JAN HOFMEYR, SOUTH AFRICAN POLITICIAN AND INTELLECTUAL AND ACTING PRIME MINISTER IN JAN SMUT'S ABSENCE DURING WORLD WAR II. IN 1921 JAN HOFMEYR, TOGETHER WITH PROF. T. HAARHOFF PUBLISHED A PAMPHLET 'STUDIES IN ANCIENT IMPERIALISM' AN IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF THE LATER ROMAN EMPIRE SO THE POSSIBILITY IS GREAT THAT HE USED GIBBON'S BOOKS AS REFERENCE REFER IMAGES SHIPPING INCLUDED IN PRICE
