"Alongside his highly acclaimed An Essay on the History of Civil Society (1767) - widely regarded as a foundational work in sociology - he wrote pamphlets on political issues, composed texts on moral and political philosophy, and published a multi-volume history of the Roman Republic. Distinguished by its combination of the moral and the historical, his work is framed within a teleological outlook that upholds the importance of action and virtue in the emerging commercial society of the eighteenth century."--BOOK JACKET.
