The History of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by 
Edward Gibbon
 [Complete 6 Volume Edition] - 
The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire [a] is a six-volume work by the English historian Edward Gibbon. It traces Western civilization (as well as the Islamic and Mongolian conquests) from the height of the Roman Empire to the fall of Byzantium in the fifteenth century. Volume I was published in 1776 and went through six printings. Volumes II and III were published in 1781; volumes IV, V, and VI in 1788–1789.
The six volumes cover the history, from 98 to 1590, of the Roman Empire, the history of early Christianity and then of the Roman State Church, and the history of Europe, and discusses the decline of the Roman Empire among other things.
Numerous tracts were published criticising his work. In response, Gibbon defended his work with the 1779 publication of 
A Vindication … of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. His remarks on Christianity aroused particularly vigorous attacks, but in the mid-twentieth century, one reference work claimed that ‘church historians allow the substantial justness of [Gibbon’s] main positions.’
