Albion Small, A Partial bibliography

This list was adapted from one constructed by Floyd House for the American Journal of Sociology
32 (1926: 49-58), as part the Journal's commemoration of Albion Small at the time of his death. In a footnote, House identified the sources as follows:

This list of Professor Small's published writings is not presented as an exhaustive one. Ephemeral writings have been omitted, and doubtless a few important articles have been missed. The list here published was prepared by the use of the following sources: (1) the lists of publications of members of the Faculties of the University of Chicago found in the President's Reports for 1903 (decennial volume; lists intended to be complete from the time of the founding of the University) and subsequent years; (2) a bibliography of his writings through the year 1915 prepared by Professor Small for a bibliography of the Faculties published by the University of Chicago in 1916; (3) the indexes of the various volumes of the American Journal of Sociology; (4) a collection of Professor Small's "fugitive publications" brought together in part by him shortly before his death, amplified by the writer from his general collection of pamphlets and clippings.

Our own interest in Small is more historical—documenting Small's stance on the role of Sociology vis ΰ vis other disciplines and his perspective on social psychology— than theoretical. We have made only slight changes to House's list: the reviews have been integrated into the overall chronology, and we have added 11 articles from the index to the American Journal of Sociology for its 50th anniversary. We haven't searched out Small's book reviews published in the Journal: it is likely that some of the reviews have been omitted. Only a handful of articles are available through site, each reflecting our historical interests.
