“This little volume contains numerous hints and suggestions, which are 
specially serviceable to strangers, and which even people to the manner bora will 
find interesting and useful. Perhaps the best part of it is in w hat it does not 
say, the indefinable suggestion of good-breeding and refinement which its well- 
written pages make.”— New York Evening Express. 
“A sensible and brief treatise, which young persons may profitably read.”— 
New York Evening Post. 
“Everything which refines the habits of a people ennobles it, and hence the 
importance of furnishing to the public all possible aids to superior manners. 
This book will undoubtedly meet the needs of a large class.”— Boston Evening 
Transcript . 
“A frank and sensible epitome of the customs of good society in the first city 
of America. It admits the existence and need of certain rules of social behavior, 
and then in a kindly and decorous manner points out how to conform to the best 
usage.”—-Boston Commonwealth. 
“A very sensible and—if we may say it of a book—well-bred volume. It 
gives the rules that are observed in the metropolis. These sometimes seem 
artificial, but they are usually founded on reason P—Hartford Courant. 
“This is a timely work. For years our people have followed the habits of the 
older nations. In this young republic it can not be expected that the same rules 
exist as we find abroad. This work is very complete, and is easily carried in the 
pocket to read at odd intervals.”— Albany Sunday Press. 
“ The statements are exact and simple, and cover all that any reader is likely 
to desire. The work will convey positively useful and reliable instruction that 
can not always be reached otherwise.”— Philadelphia North American.
