Opening with the old saying that manners make the man, this hefty American guide sets out the rules of polite society in short headed sections: how to introduce and be introduced, salutations and calls, the marks of true politeness, ball dress and invitations, fancy-dress characters drawn from Mother Goose and Kate Greenaway, and a great deal more on conduct at home and in public.
A rich source for historians, novelists and anyone curious how late-nineteenth-century Americans were told to behave. Download the free EPUB.
