Adam Ferguson's Essay on the History of Civil Society (first published in 1767) is a classic of the Scottish - and European - Enlightenment. Drawing on such diverse sources as classical authors and contemporary travel literature, Ferguson offers a complex model of historical advance which challenges both Hume's and Smith's embrace of modernity and the primitivism of Rousseau. Ferguson combines a subtle analysis of the emergence of modern commercial society with a critique of its abandonment of civic and communal virtues. Central to Ferguson's theory of citizenship are the themes of conflict, play, political participation and military valour. The Essay is a bold and novel attempt to reclaim the tradition of active, virtuous citizenship and apply it to the modern state.

Generally regarded as the first English work in empirical sociology. It was frequently reprinted, both in England and America, and was translated into German and French. Ferguson, a leader of the Scottish Enlightenment, describes the stages of social evolution -- "the first natural history of society." This same edition was in the library of Thomas Jefferson, and it was advertised for sale in the Virginia Gazette, in Williamsburg. --from bookseller's description.
