Etiquette: Good Manners for All People, Especially for Those Who Dwell within the Broad Zone of the Average

As a rule, books of etiquette are written from the standpoint of the ultra-fashionable circle. They give large space to the details of behavior on occasions of extreme conveutionality, and describe minutely the conduct proper on state occasions. But the majority in every town and village are people of moderate means and quiet habits of living, to whom the extreme formalities of the world of fashion will always remain something of an abstraction, and the knowledge of them is not of much practical use except to the few who are reflective enough to infer their own particular rule from any illustration of the general code...Morton, Agnes H. is the author of 'Etiquette: Good Manners for All People, Especially for Those Who Dwell within the Broad Zone of the Average', published 2007 under ISBN 9781594626050 and ISBN 1594626057.
