There was a specific response to the effect that students in social science are greatly in need of training in the actual technique and practice of preparing written studies. This revision contains nearly all the material that appeared in the first edition, besides new illustrations of the main points of that treatise. Several types of papers that are often assigned in the social science field, in addi tion to the term paper, namely, the outline, the digest the summary, the book review, the book critique, the editorial, and the thesis, are discussed in this edition.
