    About this ebook

    Though many of the rules deal with matters of etiquette—such as whom should rise for whom in mixed company—many concern far deeper matters that touch on personal philosophies about judgment, honor, success and conscience. As a peek into the manners of a bygone age, this is an intriguing work. As a peek into a great man in his formative years, this is an extraordinary one.
