ON GIVING DINNERS. It is a mistaken idea which many people entertain, to suppose that a man can get either reputation or real friends by giving a great many expensive dinners. In the first place, if a man dines people beyond his means, he gets a very bad reputation, and even the friends who eat them go away despising the man for his folly in inviting other people to eat up his substance. A man who not long since absconded from New York, a defaulter to the Federal Government, was so famous for his splendid dinners, that even the friends who ate them were prophesying for three years that he must, in the end, come out a defaulter. While laughing over his sparkling wine, it was still impossible to keep the feeling of contempt from choking them in their throats. The most expensive and splendid dinners are not by any means, necessarily, the most enjoyable and the most desirable. The splendid Roman banquets, so famous in history, were much more remarkable for profusion and costliness than for taste. The only merit of a dish composed of the brains of five hundred peacocks, or the tongues of five hundred nightingales, must have been its dearness; and if a mode of swallowing the most money in a given...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Perfect Gentleman: Or, Etiquette and Eloquence It is not claimed that all the toasts are original. Many of them are taken from such eminent sources whether American or European - as the author had at his hand; and, whenever the phraseology suited, he adopted it without change. Of the American Code of Politeness there is some what 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.
