Abstract
IN any discussion upon the better organization of research in the social sciences in Great Britain the question of the place to be assigned to historical research will inevitably arise. This article leaves on one side the problems of the general development of research in social, economic and cultural history, and considers only the need for research in the history of the scientific study of society. The intimate connexion between that history and the general history of thought and of science will not be forgotten.
