""An Essay on the History of Civil Society"" is a philosophical work written by Adam Ferguson, originally published in 1767. This eighth edition of the book explores the development of human society from its earliest stages to the modern era. Ferguson argues that human beings are naturally social creatures who have evolved to live in complex societies. He examines the origins of social institutions such as government, law, and religion, and explores their role in shaping human behavior and culture. The book also delves into the impact of economic and technological advancements on society, and offers insights into the nature of human progress. Overall, ""An Essay on the History of Civil Society"" is a thought-provoking and influential work that continues to be studied and discussed by scholars today.We seldom, however, reckon any task, which we are bound to perform, among the blessings of life. We always aim at a period of pure enjoyment, or a termination of trouble; and overlook the source from which most of our present satisfactions are really drawn. Ask the busy, where is the happiness to which they aspire? they will answer, perhaps, that it is to be found in the object of some present pursuit. If we ask, why they are not miserable in the absence of that happiness? they will say, that they hope to attain it. But is it hope alone that supports the mind is the midst of precarious and uncertain prospects?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
