Note 1144 — Chapter I · : THE HEDONISTS
R. (Robert) Richards translation
It is only those Hedonists who claim to be able to establish an exact science that make use of the mathematical and abstract method to the total exclusion of the historical and biological method. Professor Marshall expressly declares himself in favour of the biological method, and would advocate employing diagrams and curves as little as possible (Economic Journal, March 1898, p. 50).
