which fill our modern

Is there any method

Is there any theory
which we can apply to
our own case, and that
of others? Are there not,
at least, some practical
rules which we ought to
know, and which will be
of service to us in the
performance of this part
of our social duties ?

Some manuals of eti
quette treat almost ex
clusively of “ state occa
sions,” while others are
made up of sundry
rules, often illiterate in
style, and of doubtful
authority.
Both of these classes
of manuals are obvious
ly inadequate to the
needs of the great mam
“who dwell within the
broad zone of the average ” For this large clam,
a book that gives information as to the essential
points of correct behavior in social life.—points
equally applicable to the rich and to the poor,—•
is the ideal manual. And such a book is Uua
volume.
