PREFACE

"Manners and Rules of Good Society" contains allthe information comprised in the original work, "Mannersand Tone of Good Society," but with considerable additions.In a volume of this nature it is necessary to makeconstant revisions, and this is periodically done to keepit up to date, that it may be depended upon as being notonly the most reliable, but also the newest book of etiquette.

A comparison of the number of chapters and theirsubjects with those of the early editions would bestdemonstrate how the work has grown, not merely inbulk, but in importance also. This extension has allowedmany subjects to be more exhaustively treated thanheretofore, and it now includes every rule and point thatcould possibly be comprehended in its title.

The work throughout its many editions has commendeditself to the attention of thousands of readers, and it ishoped the present edition will be received by society ingeneral with the marked success of its predecessors.
