Largely unopened. Bookplate and ownership signature of William Wagstaff. Undertaken at Gibbon's urging, "Mitford's history for many years remained popular, and had the merit of supplying a laborious English work on a comparatively neglected subject. It was superior at most points to the Greek history by John Gillies published in 1786...It may be added that Mitford never visited Greece, never travelling beyond Naples" (DNB). Lowndes, p. 1580.
