' His health and his person EDWARD GIBBON. 137 developed sinniltaueously "with his mind. Pavilliard tells of his astonishment at the first view of a little monster of dispiitative skill, with his minutely slender frame and huge head. As the years rolled on, as numerous anecdotes aver, Gibbon became grotesquely fat. The well-known silhouette shows him preparing to take a pinch of snuft' — the portly rov;ud body borne on two spindle legs, the little face almost lost between the high forehead and ...the double chin, the little nose almost obliterated by the prominent cheeks. From this time he began habitually to speak French. Suard informs us that he spolce with a marvel- lous correctness, though his pronunciation was affected ; he talked in a falsetto tone, and always ' like a book. ' In 1758 he returned to England, and composed in French a some- what stiff and formal Essai snr V Etude de la Litterature.
His complete Freuchification was prevented by an accid- ental cii'cumstauce, the embodiment of the South Hamj:)- shire Militia.
