Manners Culture and Dress of the Best American Society

Richard A. Wells

King Richardson & Co, Massachusetts, 1891.

Some scuffing and dings to front and rear boards, spine. End papers separating from boards. Some foxing and discoloration to pages. Still, quite a good copy for 1891.

A classic book of American etiquette, “Manners Culture and Dress of the Best American Society” is a fascinating time capsule of a nation finding itself. From how to talk to women, courtship, visiting the dead and dying…this book compiles the period appropriate response to hundreds of scenarios. A lovely volume worth perusing at your leisure; maybe you’ll learn something!
