Published just before the Civil War, this classic etiquette book for men presents enduring advice for the courtesy-challenged. Commonsense suggestions for socializing, exercise, flirting, dining, and dressing reveal that the basics of proper behavior haven't changed all that much - and in situations where they have, today's gentlemen will find something worth learning from their predecessors. The text appears exactly as it was originally printed in the 1873 volume for the sake of authenticity. However, in some instances missing letters have been restored to improve legibility for the present edition.
