Etiquette, the American Code of Manners: A Study of the Usages, Laws, and Observances Which Govern Intercourse in the Best Circles of American Society (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
The first edition ofT he American Code of Manners sold so rapidly that the momentum was felt in subsequent orders, and the present large edition was nearly all called for before the paper was manufactured on which it is printed. New editions will speedily follow. This popularity is not wholly attributed to its comprehensiveness and accuracy, but also to the freshness and picturesqueness of the style in which the author has presented lessons in etiquette. The Code is not a dry formulary of rigid rules, but an entertaining treatise which may be read with interest by anybody. The fact that it is clad in the warm tissues of human sympathy does not make it the less trustworthy, and its cordial reception by the press and the people of the country stamps it as the national authority on the themes of which it treats.
