Considerable power of observation was exhibited, as well as remarkable precision in description, and suggestiveness in expression. Their nature study was oriented to the practical needs of socio-economic life. It was minute and comprehensive, and so far as it went, avoided the fallacies of mal-observation and non-observation. Whatever be the value of the results achieved, the investigation was carried on in a genuine "scientific spirit." - [Previous: c22.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.sarkar-1918.c22.5) - [Next: c22.s1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.sarkar-1918.c22.s1.1) - [Up: c22](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.sarkar-1918.c22) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.sarkar-1918.c22.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.sarkar-1918.c22.6) · Pramāṇa
