Harriet Martineau brought to her observations the convictions of a
vehement English liberal and an astonishingly modern sociological
approach. In 1834 she wrote the first draft of "How to Observe
Manners and Morals"--perhaps the earliest book on the methodology
of social research. In abridging the 800-page original for the
modern reader, Lipset has concentrated on Martineau's brilliant
discussion of religious practices, social status, and childrearing;
political apathy and the position of women, blacks, and immigrants;
and the American's casual approach to indebtedness and his
speculative wealth-or-ruin schemes.
