The volume is the first of a series which the author will edit on the preparations for 

 sociology in the fragmentary work of the nineteenth-century social sciences. The main 

 argument of the book is that modern sociology is virtually an attempt to take up the larger 

 programme of social analysis and interpretation which was implicit in Adam Smith's moral 

 philosophy, but which was suppressed for a century by prevailing interest in the technique of 

 the production of wealth. It is both a plea for revision of the methods of the social sciences 

 and a symptom of the reconstruction that is already in progress.
