He has undergone the triple scrutiny of theological zeal quickened by just resentment, of literary emulation, and of that mean and invidious vanity which delights in detecting errors in writers of established fame.

그는 정당한 분노로 자극된 신학적 열정, 문학적 경쟁심, 그리고 명성이 확립된 작가들의 오류를 찾아내는 데서 기쁨을 얻는 비열하고 악의적인 허영심이라는 세 겹의 심사를 받았다.

On the result of the trial, we may be permitted to summon competent witnesses before we deliver our own judgment.

그 심사의 결과에 대해, 우리는 우리 자신의 판단을 내리기 전에 적절한 증인들을 소환하는 것이 허용될 수 있을 것이다.

M. Guizot, in his preface, after stating that in France and Germany, as well as in England, in the most enlightened countries of Europe, Gibbon is constantly cited as an authority, thus proceeds:—

기조 씨는 그의 서문에서, 영국뿐만 아니라 프랑스와 독일에서도, 즉 유럽의 가장 계몽된 나라들에서 기번이 권위자로서 끊임없이 인용된다고 밝힌 뒤, 다음과 같이 계속한다:—

"I have had occasion, during my labors, to consult the writings of philosophers, who have treated on the finances of the Roman empire; of scholars, who have investigated the chronology; of theologians, who have searched the depths of ecclesiastical history; of writers on law, who have studied with care the Roman jurisprudence; of Orientalists, who have occupied themselves with the Arabians and the Koran; of modern historians, who have entered upon extensive researches touching the crusades and their influence; each of these writers has remarked and pointed out, in the 'History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire,' some negligences, some false or imperfect views, some omissions, which it is impossible not to suppose voluntary; they have rectified some facts, combated with advantage some assertions; but in general they have taken the researches and the ideas of Gibbon, as points of departure, or as proofs of the researches or of the new opinions which they have advanced."

"나는 나의 작업 과정에서, 로마 제국의 재정을 다룬 철학자들의 저술, 연대기를 연구한 학자들의 저술, 교회사의 깊이를 탐구한 신학자들의 저술, 로마 법학을 면밀히 연구한 법률 저술가들의 저술, 아랍인들과 코란에 몰두한 동양학자들의 저술, 십자군과 그 영향에 관한 광범위한 연구에 착수한 근대 역사가들의 저술을 참고할 기회가 있었다; 이 저술가들 각각은 『로마 제국 쇠망사』에서 몇몇 부주의한 점들, 거짓되거나 불완전한 견해들, 의도적이라고 가정하지 않을 수 없는 몇몇 누락들을 지적하고 언급하였다; 그들은 몇몇 사실들을 바로잡고, 몇몇 주장들에 유리하게 반박하였다; 그러나 일반적으로 그들은 기번의 연구와 사상을 출발점으로, 혹은 자신들이 제시한 연구나 새로운 견해들의 증거로 삼았다."

기조 씨.
