You are talking about classical statistical theory. I suggest as a 
starting point Kendall and Stuart, Advanced Theory of Statistics. I think 
this is in Volume 1. I am not familiar enough with it (and am not in my 
office to check), but I would be surprised if you didn't find enough to 
satisfy your needs in Lukacs, Characteristic Functions.
