A mess of a Kindle edition,
By Michael Magdalena (Anaheim, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire - Volume 2 (Kindle Edition)
Compared to the first volume of the Kindle edition of this series, Volume 2 is unreadable in its current format. Previous people have commented on the ridiculous footnotes that aren't even Gibbon; this version doesn't even have bold chapter breaks, so it just all comes across as gibberish. I'm going to have to find a hard copy; at least Volume 3 appears to be back to the normal formatting...

This is a mess! Terrible edition!,

This review is from: History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire - Volume 2 (Kindle Edition)
This is terribly frustrating, as the edition of this volume is so much more careless than the other five. The text is frequently interrupted by footnotes and other distractions, so much so that one gives up after the second paragraph. I wonder what it would take to correct this and give us a clean edition.

This review is from: History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire - Volume 2 (Kindle Edition)
The first volume I downloaded was wonderful and original. The shock I had when reading this was great, as some Christian bisop uses this to argue with a dead author and interrups constantly. BAD and ANNOYING

But the operation of the wisest laws is imperfect and precarious. They seldom inspire virtue, they cannot always restrain vice. Their power is insufficient to prohibit all that they condemn, nor can they always punish the actions which they prohibit.
