Descriptive note in Annual, 1906.
“Students of Professor Suess’s masterpieces hardly know whether to admire most his encyclopedic knowledge of the earth’s surface, his familiarity with the literature of his subject, his grasp of detail, his reach of speculation, or his fine poetical feeling and gifts of expression.”

Sumner, William Graham. [Folkways: a study of the sociological importance of usages, manners; customs, mores, and morals.] *$3. Ginn.
7–21403.
An analytical definition of the folkways and a description of their functions in the formation and integration of society. Folkways are the ways of satisfying needs which become habitual and customary by the uncoördinated coöperation of individuals. The author shows how these uncoördinated acts grow into habits, thence into traditional customs related to social welfare, later have a philosophy and become rules of the life policy.
“Professor Sumner has written a very valuable and timely book, and one involving years of patient research as well as the possession of a ripe and fearless mind. The two most serious defects of ‘Folkways’ are a lack of psychological standpoint and a lack of systematic and complete presentation.” Wm. I. Thomas.
