I never read the book but one of my anthropology professors thought it was a great book for citations, attributions and bibliography. He thought that Gibbon often made conclusions which weren't backed up by the sources he cited.
IMO comparing one of Gibbons’ conclusions to the sources he cites would make an interesting study for a high schooler.
