Summary:

At the time of the appearance of the first edition of this work, in 1883, the word sociology was rarely spoken, and when spoken was often condemned--not merely as a word improperly formed, but also as embodying a conception, if not wholly false, at least more or less confused and imaginary. From such humble beginnings as above described, and in the face of such obstacles and open opposition, the science has thus marched steadily forward until its name is now in the mouths not only of students and writers, but also of educationalists and statesmen, and its future culture and popularity are assured. Judging from its rapid rise, and all the signs of the times, it bids fair to become the leading science of the twentieth century, as biology has been that of the nineteenth.
