Excerpt from Custom an Essay on Social Codes

In few spheres of sociological theory is the terminology so chaotic as in the literature on custom. One author might designate as "folkways" what another author terms "usages." What one author calls "custom," another might call "mores," while still a third might speak of "conventions." The present volume must be read with this problem in mind.

Terminological difficulties abound in a translation, since even such closely related languages as German and English do not always contain exactly corresponding terms. The German word "Sitte" has, in our opinion, more of a moral connotation than the English word "custom" which approaches the German "Brauch" (herein translated as "usage").
