Excerpt from Human Nature and the Social Order
I suppose that, the acceptance this book has found is clue in great part to its somewhat novel point of view. I mean that it is a treatise on Human Nature by one who is not primarily a psychologist but a student of society, impelled to his investigation by finding (as it seemed to him) that the subject had never been dealt with whole-heartedly from this standpoint.
The work, at any rate, has found its welcome mainly as a help in the study of Sociology; and it is with a view to making it serve this purpose better that I have prepared a Students" Edition, adding an introductory chapter on Heredity and Instinct, enlarging the chapter on Society and the Individual, and inserting other matter in various connections. I have also appended a series of Study Questions, which I hope will be interesting to students reading by themselves, as well as to those in colleges.
