Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Manners of the Aristocracy Etiquette books have always been considered legitimate subjects for mirth. These primers of good manners are naturally useless to persons whose daily course of life from their infancy has led them only over well-trodden paths of good manners, accurately marked out for them by many generations of well-bred ancestors. Such, however, is far from being the case with all who are "in society." Take, for instance, the manufacturer of blacking who chose as a motto, and had engraved on his carriage, the couplet - Blacking bought it: Who'd have thought it? He probably required some little education in "minor morals" before he could succeed in passing muster under the critical eyes of the well-bred persons among whom his carriage would certainly succeed in placing him soon or late. To such as he, a book on etiquette is no useless volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
