This is not only a valuable book of reference, but it contains minute Instructions for Gentlemen in all those modern accomplishments which have become almost a necessity in this age of refinement. It gives directions how to use Wine at Table, with rules for judging the quality thereof—Rules for Carving, and a complete Etiquette of the Dinner Table, including Dinner Speeches, Toasts and Sentiments, Wit and Conversation at Table, &c. It has also an American Code of Etiquette and Politeness for all occasions—Model Speeches, with directions how to deliver them—Duties of the Chairman at Public Meetings, Forms of Preambles and Resolutions, &c. In short, this book will give a man every possible information he may desire to enable him to appear to good advantage in either public or private life. It is a choice book that any gentleman will find a valuable addition to his library. We expect to sell at least one hundred thousand copies of this work, and the price is correspondingly low.
