This book (hardcover) is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS. It
contains classical literature works from over two thousand years.
Most of these titles have been out of print and off the bookstore
shelves for decades. The book series is intended to preserve the
cultural legacy and to promote the timeless works of classical
literature. Readers of a TREDITION CLASSICS book support the
mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from
oblivion. With this series, tredition intends to make thousands of
international literature classics available in printed format again
- worldwide.
The Gentlemen's Book of Etiquette and Manual of Politeness is the
definitive guide to being the consummate gentleman. Cecil B.
Hartley's classic book has never been out of print and is a
must-read for any man.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Ever wondered what to do in polite society if you find an insect in
your food? Or how a gentleman should ask a lady to dance? And what
on earth is the etiquette for smoking cigars? First published in
1860, Cecil B. Hartley's classic guide to gentlemanly behaviour is
a veritable mine of information and indispensable advice for
aspiring gentlemen. No matter if a man finds himself at a party,
meeting someone new or travelling abroad, he has but to leaf
through this book to learn how best to behave, and indeed how not
to behave. And if he can find time between his numerous invitations
to balls and hunting parties, he could benefit from a perusal of
the sections on gentlemanly deportment and conversational
technique. Not forgetting, of course, the all-important advice on
how to treat ladies, surely an integral part of any true
gentleman's training. Published here in a stunning edition
alongside The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, this is the perfect gift
for the would-be gentleman in your life. While it's an excellent
volume for dipping into for hilarious nuggets of outdated advice,
this guide also contains advice on all manner of topics, from
beard-keeping to chivalry, that are just as relevant today as they
were in Cecil B. Hartley's time. As he says himself: 'Once a
gentleman always a gentleman' and be sure that you can so carry out
the rule, that in your most careless, joyous moments, when freest
from the restraints of etiquette, you can still be recognizable as
a gentleman by every act, word, or look.
