This link is to a lovely on-line manual of old-fashioned etiquette that still applies in most respects to today (some of the information on fashion or calling cards does not apply, but otherwise, it is a rich, indispensable resource of wisdom and advice). It is a lucky thing that there are people kind enough to post such wonderful information on-line for others to find and learn from.
A Manuel of Etiquette by Daisy Eyebright
What a delightful discovery! I'm so glad you posted it here!
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this link! I'm going to delve through it today.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Monday!
Would you happen to know what year this manual was published?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure when it was published, but it is written by George Routledge (1812- 1888)- despite the feminine pseudonym (men know about etiquette and manners!), so I would guess it was published by himself in the mid to late 1800's. Mr. Routledge was also a publisher and owned a publishing company with his sons, printing books inexpensively for mass distribution.
ReplyDeleteHow fantastic! I am going to have to check this out. I just got several books on etiquette yesterday at the library. We must be on the same track
