 Professor Alfred Marshall called and examined
When Keynes prepared his edition of Marshall’s Official Papers for publication by Macmillan for the Royal Economic Society in 1926, his claim in its preface that the volume ‘contained the whole of Alfred Marshall’s contributions to official enquiries on economic questions with the exception of his work on the Labour Commission’, was quickly disproved.
This included Marshall’s evidence on education in Wales and Monmouth Shire (1880), an additional item prepared by Marshall for the Gold and Silver Commission (1888) and, by far the major part of the volume, material attributable to Marshall from his membership of the Royal Commission on Labour (1891-1894), which Keynes as editor had deliberately omitted.
Marshall also indicated during his evidence that this was a matter of long-standing concern to him, and that he had discussed it with respect to practice in the United States Census with eminent authorities of the calibre of ‘General [Francis Amasa] Walker’.

 Alfred Marshall and Economic History
Marshall would find reason to return to the question of the value of mathematics in the study of economics, as well as to the development of the so-called diagrammatical method.
Marshall's own conclusion unfortunately does not do a great deal to clarify the question of how these two aspects are to be taken into account: "(...) the growth of the economic science is itself chiefly dependent on the careful study of facts by the aid of this knowledge".
Marshall's contribution to it is limited to a reply, and a fairly brief one at that.

Where Marshall talks about the "many profound analogies" that had allegedly been found between "social and industrial organization" on the other hand, and the "physical organization of the higher animals" on the other, he is going beyond anything that Darwin wrote.
In the margin beside this passage Marshall has written: Analogies to this may be seen in the growth of mental, moral, social and political conceptions, methods, and habits both in the race and the individual (my emphasis).
Marshall, then, in this instance, is arguing at a level two steps removed from Darwin: He is (1) accepting Spencer's Lamarckian interpretation of Darwin in this instance[iii], and then (2) moving on to his own application of this interpretation in the social (economic) sphere.

Alfred Marshall (1842-1924) is one of the most outstanding figures in the development of contemporary economics and his influence has been enormous.
He was influential particularly in his efforts to promote economics as a discipline and to project it as a unified social science, in spite of the debates then raging between the mathematical pure theorists, the empiricists and the non-mathematical pure theorists.
This is regarded as indicative of his views on the limitations of mathematics in economics; although he was more willing than the Austrians to engage in mathematical theorising, the focus of his research, like theirs, was on economic process rather than equilibrium.
