In Methods of Social Study Sidney and Beatrice Webb describe in
detail how they conducted their investigations into social history
and institutions - from the collection, recording and
classification of the data (both documentary and oral), through the
processes of hypothesis and analysis, down to the preparation of
the final report. The Webbs were in many respects pioneers, and
what they achieved and the way in which they achieved it are of an
importance that has been increasingly recognised as the passage of
times gives us perspective. Their constant concern was to ensure
that their work would be 'scientific'. They stress the need in
scientific research for complete objectivity, to be achieved in
their case by keeping their historical and sociological studies
wholly separate from their political writings. Because the first
drafts for the book were made by Beatrice in 1921 and the final
text was written by Sidney in 1931/2, one can also see expressed
here, more clearly than elsewhere, the different temperaments of
the two collaborators.
