For Ferguson, like Montesquieu, the growth of virtue was neither isomorphic with material progress nor necessarily antithetical to it: Virtue can be found in different times and places. Ferguson continued his publishing successes with the philosophical history History of the Progress and Termination of the Roman Republic (1783) and later, after his retirement from Edinburgh, the Principles of Moral and Political Science (1792).
