A philosophical romance written and produced by Robert Gittings
. We imperceptibly advance from youth to age without observing the gradual, but incessant, change of human affairs ; and even in our larger experience of history, the imagination, is accustomed, by a perpetual series of causes and effects, to unite the most distant revolutions. But if the interval between two memorable eras could be Instantly annihilated; if it were possible, after a momentary slumber .. to display the new world to the eyes of a spectator, who still retained a lively and recent impression of the old. his surprise and his reflections would furnish the pleasing subject of a philosophical romance.' (Gibbon. ' Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.' Chapter 33)
