There are however many papers on the topic in particular under the umbrella of history of the utility theory. Pareto is a key figure in any history of micro and in some papers on pareto's revolution in theory of choice you can find hints interesting for such a research.
If one is interested in histories of economics that deal significantly with what might be called, from the perspective of the present, "microeconomic" themes, one might consult the following books: Edwin Cannan, Production and Distribution Theories, 1776 to 1848.
Maurice Dobb, Theories of Value and Distribution Since Adam Smith.
T.W. Hutchison, A Review of Economics Doctrines, 1870-1929.
George J. Stigler, Production and Distribution Theories.
But even this should be done while bearing in mind Professor Theocarakis's comments.
