Edgar Zilsel (1891-1944), historian and philosopher of science, arrived in America with what he called 'two copious manuscripts': one on 'The social roots of science'; the other on 'Natural and historical laws'. Indicates how these manuscripts are related, and how they continue a research programme which Zilsel had developed in his earlier work. Argues that the project on the social roots of science can be seen as a case study substantiating the claim of the possibility of historical laws. (Original abstract - amended)
