• The book is an edited and illustrated version of the original one and includes 15 or more unique illustrations which are relevant to its content.
• The present work has had an extensive circulation in France, the country which we are accustomed to consider as the genial soil of politeness; and the publishers have thought it would be rendering a useful service on this side of the Atlantic to issue a translation of it.
Some foreign visitors in our country, whose own manners have not always given them a right to be censors of others, have very freely told us what we ought not to do; and it will be useful to know from respectable authority, what is done in polished society in Europe, and, of course, what we ought to do, in order to avoid all just censure. This object, we are ivconfident, will be more effectually accomplished by the study of the principles and rules contained in the present volume, than by any other of the kind.
