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volume for dipping into for hilarious nuggets of outdated advice,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.
