Originally published in 1860, this unique gentleman's etiquette manual, not intended for a lady, includes etiquette guidelines concerning social behavior, making and receiving introductions, how to dress, rules for special occasions, a gentleman's duties, etc. Unlike other etiquette books, it includes an extensive abundance of literary examples and guidelines to aid a gentleman on presentation of a speech to an audience or how to make a toast with numerous examples provided. It is a valuable resource for living historians, reenactors and those who are interested in etiquette, social morays, and what expected of a man in order to be the 'perfect gentlemen' in the mid-19th century. Due to this book being a reprint from the original, there may be an occasional imperfection such as blurred letters, poor pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either a part of the original artifact or were caused by the scanning process. We feel that this work is culturally and historically of importance and are pleased to offer it for your study and enjoyment. | The Perfect Gentleman or Etiquette and Eloquence (, Paperback) by A Gentleman | Indigo Chapters
