We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Originally published in 1838, this book serves as a pioneering work in the field of social observation and ethnography.

In 1834 she wrote the first draft of How to Observe Manners and Morals--perhaps the earliest book on the methodology of social research.
