Présentation de l'éditeur

In HOW TO BEHAVE. SOME one has denned politeness as only an elegant form of justice; but it is something more. It is the result of the combined action of all the moral and social feelings, guided by judgment and refined by taste. One cannot commit a greater mistake than to make politeness a mere matter of arbitrary forms. It has as real and permanent a foundation in the nature and relations of men and women, as have govern ment and the common law. The civil code is not more binding upon us than is the code of civility. Portions of the former become, from time to time, inoperative mere dead letters on the statute-book, on account of the conditions on which they were founded ceasing to exist; and many of the enactments of the latter lose their significance and binding force from the same cause. Many of the forms now in vogue, in what is called fashionable society, are of this character.
