Book Synopsis The Book of Good Manners by : Mrs. Burton Kingsland
Download or read book The Book of Good Manners written by Mrs. Burton Kingsland. This book was released on 2015-06-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Good Manners: Etiquette for All Occasions An American traveller, when once rallied upon the fact that there was no aristocracy in his country, replied: "Pardon me, you forget our women!" It was gallantly said, and characteristic of the chivalry that has always been so marked a trait of American manhood. It is the stock reproach among Europeans towards us - this lack of aristocracy - which politely but thinly veils their conviction that we are a nation of rich and prosperous parvenus. We resent the reflection because it seems to imply the lack of qualities which, to our minds, the word stands for. Now we believe the outward and visible signs of aristocracy are shown in perfect breeding, charm of manner, and unfailing courtesy, of which the inward grace is an instinctive refinement that is not merely a decorative attribute. True aristocracy derives nothing from the possession of money - wealth but makes ill-breeding more conspicuous.

Book Synopsis Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politéness by : Florence Hartley
Download or read book Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politéness written by Florence Hartley. This book was released on 1860. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do unto others as you would others should do to you. You can never be rude if you bear the rule always in mind, for what lady likes to be treated rudely? True Christian politeness will always be the result of an unselfish regard for the feelings of others, and though you may err in the ceremonious points of etiquette, you will never be im polite. Politeness, founded upon such a rule, becomes the expression, in graceful manner, of social virtues. The spirit of politeness consists in a certain attention to forms and ceremonies, which are meant both to please others and ourselves, and to make others pleased with us ;a still clearer definition may be given by saying that politeness is goodness of heart put into daily practice; the.re can be no true, politeness without kindness, purity, singleness of heart, and sensibility. Many believe that politeness is but a mask worn in the world to conceal bad passions and impulses, and to make a show of possessing virtues not really existing in the heart; thus, that politeness is merely hypocrisy and dissimulation. Do not believe this; be certain that those who profess such a doctrine are practising themselves the deceit they condemn so much.

Book Synopsis Manners for Men by : Mrs. Humphry
Download or read book Manners for Men written by Mrs. Humphry. This book was released on 2022-05-29. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Manners For Men" is detailed guidance on behavior in the obsessively class-conscious late Victorian age, where a small mistake in manners could turn into a social failure. C. E. Humphry, the columnist of "Girl's Gossip," is a master of language and subtle irony. Thanks to her talents, this book is very readable and entertaining, even for a contemporary reader not interested in learning the rules of social behavior in the 19th century. Yet, at the time of publishing, the book was highly informative for a contemporary. It describes various situations like a trip in the omnibus, visiting a mass or a formal dinner, or even walking down the street.
