Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Society
Although this book is the first of its kind, the demand for it has been created by earlier American expounders of social relations. A syllabus of sociological method, printed in 1889 for the use of his students, by one of the authors of this Manual, was mentioned by President E. B. Andrews in a widely circulated article upon the literature of Sociology. From the terms in which numerous readers of the article requested copies of the Introduction, it was apparent that interest in scientific exposition of society was more general than the author had supposed.
It is impossible to apportion credit for the new social impulse in the United States, but it is fair to say that the sources of in?uence most frequently mentioned in the correspondence referred to were the writings of Dr. Samuel W. Dike, Professor Richard T. Ely, and Professor Franklin H. Giddings.
