Autorul sus?ine teoria declinului ?i c?derii Imperiului Roman potrivit c?reia acestea s-ar fi datorat:
- sl?birii structurii imperiului, la care ar fi contribuit ?i
cre?tinismul
- presiunea din afar?, cauzat? de popoarele barbare, care erau du?manii imperiului,
El exclude teoria lui
Montesquieu
, care atribuia cauza c?derii imperiului decaden?ei societ??ii romane.

i(Preface)
.
I now discharge my promise, and complete my design, of writing the History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, both in West and the East. The whole period extends from the age of Trajan and the Antonines, to the taking of Constantinople by Mahomet the second; and includes a review of the Crusades and the state of Rome during the middle ages. Since the publication of the first volume, twelve years have elapsed; twelve years, according to my wish, "of health, of leisure, and of perseverance." I may now congratulate my deliverance from a long and laborious service, and my satisfaction will be pure and perfect, if the public favour should be extended to the conclusion of my work.
