Book Ladies  Book of Etiquette  and Manual of Polit  ness

Download or read book Ladies Book of Etiquette and Manual of Polit ness written by Florence Hartley and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1860 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do unto others as you would others should do to you. You can never be rude if you bear the rule always in mind, for what lady likes to be treated rudely? True Christian politeness will always be the result of an unselfish regard for the feelings of others, and though you may err in the ceremonious points of etiquette, you will never be im polite. Politeness, founded upon such a rule, becomes the expression, in graceful manner, of social virtues. The spirit of politeness consists in a certain attention to forms and ceremonies, which are meant both to please others and ourselves, and to make others pleased with us ;a still clearer definition may be given by saying that politeness is goodness of heart put into daily practice; the.re can be no true, politeness without kindness, purity, singleness of heart, and sensibility. Many believe that politeness is but a mask worn in the world to conceal bad passions and impulses, and to make a show of possessing virtues not really existing in the heart; thus, that politeness is merely hypocrisy and dissimulation. Do not believe this; be certain that those who profess such a doctrine are practising themselves the deceit they condemn so much.

Book The Gentleman and Lady s Book of Politeness and Propriety of Deportment

Download or read book The Gentleman and Lady s Book of Politeness and Propriety of Deportment written by Elisabeth Celnart and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-09-18 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elisabeth Celnart's 'The Gentleman and Lady's Book of Politeness and Propriety of Deportment' is a comprehensive guide on etiquette and social behavior during the 19th century. Written in a didactic and instructional style, Celnart provides detailed advice on proper manners, conversation skills, and dress codes, reflecting the societal norms of the time. The book serves as a window into the social expectations and standards of the upper class during this period, making it a valuable resource for understanding historical social customs. Celnart's refined prose and emphasis on etiquette make this book a quintessential guide for anyone interested in the cultural history of etiquette. Elisabeth Celnart, a French writer known for her works on etiquette, was influenced by the Enlightenment ideals of rational behavior and refinement. As a woman writing on manners and social conduct, Celnart's book challenged conventional gender roles and emphasized the importance of politeness and decorum in society. Her background in literature and social commentary contributed to the rich content of 'The Gentleman and Lady's Book of Politeness and Propriety of Deportment.' I recommend 'The Gentleman and Lady's Book of Politeness and Propriety of Deportment' to readers interested in the history of etiquette, social norms, and cultural studies. Celnart's insightful advice and detailed instructions offer a fascinating glimpse into the manners and behaviors of the 19th century elite, making it a valuable read for those interested in the intricacies of historical social interactions.

Book The Lady s Guide to Perfect Gentility

Download or read book The Lady s Guide to Perfect Gentility written by Emily Thornwell and published by . This book was released on 1857 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Etiquette manuals are an important source for information on issues relating to the study of nineteenth-century social dance. Thornwell discusses the complexion, appropriate dress, introductions, behavior at parties, rules "on polite, easy, and graceful deportment," hints for conversation including "words, and sayings to be avoided," and concludes with chapters on needle-work and dress-making. Although much of Thornwell's manual was extracted from E.C. de Calabrella's 1844 publication The Ladies' science of etiquette, the manual was popular enough to be reissued ten times between 1857 and 1890.
