To ensure Punctuality in your Visits, which, Civility says, ought to be returned with as much Celerity as Convenience will permit, give your Coachman a List of the Places he is to take you to, and the Time you are to be there: the various branches of the Gad-abouts, who delight in the laborious Idleness of paying Morning Visits, and wish to pay as many as possible, in as little time as possible, and spend their time in being Driven to Doors, where they anxiously desire—not to be admitted, will find the above hint very valuable.
When you go about paying Visits, (especially in Cold Weather), desire your Coachman not to drive faster than Five miles an Hour:—Nothing destroys more Coach Horses, than the practice, so common in London, of driving them fast till they are Hot, and then keeping them standing still in the Cold.

“Happy were the Days then,
To what they is now.”
