Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a fascinating window into a bygone era, providing insight into the social etiquette and behavior considered essential for the well-bred individual in the 18th century. The text is comprised of two primary parts - a set of 110 rules of civility and decent behavior, as well as supplementary essays that contextualize the rules. Authored by an anonymous Jesuit priest, the text reflects the social norms and standards of its time, emphasizing respect, politeness, and deference to superiors. The rules cover a wide range of topics, from proper conduct in church and at the dinner table to appropriate behavior in the presence of royalty and other figures of authority. The essays offer a deeper understanding of the rationale behind the rules, explaining the social and moral values they embody. Together, the rules and essays provide a comprehensive guide to the social graces of the period. This book will be of great interest to scholars of history, sociology, and literature, as well as anyone curious about the social history of the 18th century.
