Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Perfect Gentleman: Or, Etiquette and Eloquence Of all that portion of this work which is devoted to the speeches, it is not the author's purpose to say anything, in the way either of explanation or apology. Let the speeches speak for themselves. It is not claimed that all the toasts are original. Many of them arc taken from such eminent sources - whether American or European - as the author had at his hand; and, whenever the phraseology suited, lie adopted it without change. Of the "American Code of Politeness" there is somewhat more to be said. It was not expected that much which is new could be written on this subject The only aim has been to present the general rules of politeness and etiquette in such a manner as to render them plain and instructive, and to point out some of the absurd and conflicting rules of the fashionable code which have come into our country from different parts of Europe. The author has had the. opportunity of seeing that there arc wide differences between some particular rules of etiquette as practised in America, and Eng land, and on the continent of Europe. Some things that arc orthodox etiquette in London, are gross heresy in Paris and all over the continent of Europe. A man who should conduct himself on the continent in all particulars according to the rules of etiquette practised in England, would soon find himself stared at by well-bred people, if not banished from polite society.

Excerpt: ... company, and they are not seated, it is highly expedient that the chairman require them to be so. And if he think that some of them require instruction on this head, it will be equally expedient in him to request that gentlemen will keep their seats during the business of the meeting, save when they rise to speak; and that each gentleman, on the conclusion of whatever he may have to say, instantly resume his seat, affording thereby a fair opportunity for any other gentleman to rise. Observations of this kind, according to the taste and judgment of the chairman, concluding with a recommendation to the meeting to give a patient hearing to the several speakers, will form a very suitable prelude to the business of the meeting. On resuming his seat, the chairman, both now and on every other occasion, intimates his desire that the business of the meeting should proceed. 30. A motion will now, of course, be submitted to the meeting; and this motion, having been read, generally by the mover, will doubtless be seconded. After the moving and the seconding, the words of the motion in writing being handed to the chairman or to his secretary, ought again, in an audible voice, to be read to the meeting, either by the chairman or by some person of his appointment: and immediately after this, for any objection to be made on such motion, or any amendment moved thereon. If, after a reasonable and sufficient pause, no objector present himself, the chairman will proceed to put the motion to the meeting, taking the votes for it, and then against it, in the manner usual at meetings of the same description. This is by a show of hands, or by the ayes and noes. 31. If, however, an objection to the Original MoTion, as the first motion is called, be raised, that...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With keen insight and subtle humor, John F. Kasson explores the history and politics of etiquette from America's colonial times through the nineteenth century. He describes the transformation of our notion of "gentility," once considered a birthright to some, and the development of etiquette as a middle-class response to the new urban and industrial economy and to the excesses of democratic society.
Download or read book Bowing to Necessities written by C. Dallett Hemphill and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1999 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anglo-Americans wrestled with some profound cultural contradictions as they shifted from the hierarchical and patriarchal society of the seventeenth-century frontier to the modern and fluid class democracy of the mid-nineteenth century. How could traditional inequality be maintained in the socially leveling environment of the early colonial wilderness? And how could nineteenth-century Americans pretend to be equal in an increasingly unequal society? Bowing to Necessities argues that manners provided ritual solutions to these central cultural problems by allowing Americans to act out--and thus reinforce--power relations just as these relations underwent challenges. Analyzing the many sermons, child-rearing guides, advice books, and etiquette manuals that taught Americans how to behave, this book connects these instructions to individual practices and personal concerns found in contemporary diaries and letters. It also illuminates crucial connections between evolving class, age, and gender relations. A social and cultural history with a unique and fascinating perspective, Hemphill's wide-ranging study offers readers a panorama of America's social customs from colonial times to the Civil War.
