{"product_id":"2940013236974","title":"Manners and Rules of Good Society: An Etiquette Classic By Anonymous!","description":"The title of this work sufficiently indicates the nature of its contents. The Usages of Good Society relate not only to good manners and to good breeding, but also to the proper etiquette to be observed on every occasion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot only are certain rules laid down, and minutely explained, but the most comprehensive instructions are given in each chapter respecting every form or phase of the subject under discussion that it may be clearly understood what is done, or what is not done, in good society, and also how what is done in good society should be done. It is precisely this knowledge that gives to men and women the consciousness of feeling thoroughly at ease in whatever sphere they may happen to move, and causes them to be considered well bred by all with whom they may come in contact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA solecism may be perhaps in itself but a trifling matter, but in the eyes of society at large it assumes proportions of a magnified aspect, and reflects most disadvantageously upon the one by whom it is committed; the direct inference being, that to be guilty of a solecism argues the offender to be unused to society, and consequently not on an equal footing with it. This society resents, and is not slow in making its disapproval felt by its demeanour towards the offender.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTact and innate refinement, though of the greatest assistance to one unused to society, do not suffice of themselves; and although counting for much, cannot supply the want of the actual knowledge of what is customary in society. Where tact and innate refinement do not exist--and this is not seldom the case, as they are gifts bestowed upon the few rather than upon the many--then a thorough acquaintance with the social observances in force in society becomes more than ever necessary, and especially to those who, socially speaking, are desirous of making their way in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e=================================================\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDear Readers:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe are dedicated to providing our customers with cutting edge information with the latest and most popular ebooks \u0026amp; hot topics at very affordable prices.
