“GOOD FORM” IN ENGLAND. By An American, resident in the United Kingdom. 12mo, cloth. Price, $1.50.
“The raison d’être of this book is to provide Americans—and especially those visiting England—with a concise, comprehensive, and comprehensible hand-book which will give them all necessary information respecting ‘how things are’ in England. While it deals with subjects connected with all ranks and classes, it is particularly intended to be an exhibit and explanation of the ways, habits, customs, and usages of what is known in England as ‘high life.’ Such being the society to which American ladies and gentlemen have the entrée, it is hoped that the book will be useful to them.”—From the Preface.

In response to constant applications from all parts of the country for information regarding social forms and usages in New York, the author has prepared a work in which special pains have been taken to make it represent accurately existing customs in New York society, in distinction from the many manuals that have simply reproduced the codes of Paris and London. The subjects treated are of visiting and visiting-cards, giving and attending balls, receptions, dinners, etc., débuts, chaperons, weddings, opera and theatre parties, costumes and customs, addresses and signatures, funeral customs, covering so far as practicable all social usages.
