Williams, James Mickel. An American town: a sociological study. Priv. ptd.

6–46255.

“The author, formerly a fellow in sociology in Columbia university, has in connection with his graduate work, made this sociological study of a small town of rural New York.... He has given us a little bit of the social history of the town and community, dividing it into two periods—from the settlement to 1875 and from 1875 on.”—Ann. Am. Acad.


“It is a painstaking, intelligent, and extremely suggestive piece of scholarly work. On the whole Mr. Williams is to be heartily congratulated on a piece of work which opens up new possibilities in the intensive study of localities, and proves that monographic work of this kind is to be of prime importance to sociology.” George E. Vincent.

“This volume is valuable because it is an illustration of careful, conscientious field work, even if occasionally the conclusions seem unwarranted.”
