Excerpt from The History of Social Development
The whole work comprises in the first five parts the Special principles, and in the conclusion the general principles of social development, and consequently covers the whole science of culture, or what is to Auguste Comte the same thing, the whole Of social science or Sociology. At the same time it will acquaint the reader with the results of this new and glorious, although unfortunately still imperfect, science. Since Sociology, in spite of its brief existence, has already increased to such a gigantic extent that a complete state ment would perhaps require as many volumes as this work contains leaves, only the most important fundamental principles Of development will be considered throughout, and all details which are not absolutely necessary for the characterization of the phases and for the comprehension Of the process of development will be conscientiously excluded.
Each part is composed Of a series of detailed statements, which although members of a whole, are yet written as independent works, each one of which can be read and understood by itself, although naturally not with the same profit as if read in their entirety.

Excerpt from The History of Social Development
The value of Dr. Müller-Lyer's book is that it is a serious attempt at an Inductive Sociology. The moment that the Sociological student passes out of the region of abstractions he finds himself wandering in an uncharted wilderness of fluid and disconnected facts. His natural impulse is to take refuge in specialism. He will study some particular region of contemporary life, or of the historic past, or of the Simpler Societies, and learn what is to be learnt about that nook or corner, since the whole field is too wide for his exploration. This method produces valuable special studies, but it does not give us a Sociology. It yields no theory of the nature and development of society as a whole, it gives no account of the general trend of civilization, and answers none of the questions about progress or retrogression. But these are the questions to which more urgently than heretofore the world needs an answer. The potentialities of good and evil in civilization have been multiplied many times by the increase of human power. What are we going to make of them? What has human "Progress" amounted to so far as it has gone, and what can the watchman say of the night? Carlyle's question, "Whence, and oh heavens! whither?" is even more clamant for us than for him. Now we shall not know the future merely by recapitulating the past because the human mind is constantly introducing new factors.
