FINDLAY, JOSEPH JOHN. Introduction to sociology, for social workers and general readers. (Publications of the University of Manchester) il *$2 Longmans 301
20–14079
“The central theme of sociology, as conceived by Professor Findlay and lucidly expounded in this excellent introduction to a comparatively new, extremely comprehensive, but somewhat elusive science, is ‘the definition of social groups, their classification and their relations to each other.’ The treatment is systematic, though some problems of considerable importance, such as the institution of land tenure, have had to be omitted. The first five chapters are devoted to principles. The second part relates to types of social grouping, such as family, state, religion, and occupation. In the third part, which is concerned with organization, the positions of the leader, the official, and the representative, are discussed: and there is an analysis of the instinct of loyalty.”—Ath
“A valuable part of his book is the admirable list of references to contemporary and other authorities.”

“The author, while primarily an educational administrator and not a professional sociologist, nevertheless has attained a definite grasp of certain fundamental principles in the science of society. His book is a very thoughtful piece of work, but the reviewer confesses to losing his way frequently in the course of the argument.” A. J. Todd
