MANNERS & RULES of GOOD SOCIETY (1902) 26th Edition by A Member of the Aristocracy.

Manners and Rules of Good Society.  Or Solecisms to be Avoided. By A Member of the Aristocracy.

A fascinating early 20th-century copy of Manners and Rules of Good Society, by “A Member of the Aristocracy”. 26th edition, published in 1902.

ABOUT THE BOOK: First published during the Victorian period, this etiquette guide offers an entertaining glimpse into the social customs and expectations of polite Edwardian society. Covering everything from introductions and conversation to entertaining, visiting, dress and appropriate behaviour, it provides a wonderful insight into the elaborate rules of social conduct of the era.

This 1902 edition is particularly appealing, with its age and history adding character to a bookshelf. It would sit beautifully amongst other antique and vintage books, whether displayed as part of a curated library, styled on a coffee table or incorporated into a decorative shelf arrangement.

Please note that this is an antique book and shows age-related wear to the binding. May have a gently aged/musty scent. These characteristics are part of its vintage appeal & should be expected.

A lovely choice for anyone drawn to the elegance, formality and fascinating social history of the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
