PREFACE.
MANNERS AND TONE OF GOOD SOCIETY havin in
g
the course of seven years reached the ThirteenthE dition
,
it was found advisable to revise it last year up to present
date but so many innovations in E tiquette havin
;
g
taken place within that time the reater part of the
g
work was actually rewritten and a considerable amount
,
of information added thereto .
-
The present
work contains thirt ve chapters the
yfi ,
former edit ions havin but ourteen. This e
xtension
g f
allowed many sub ects to be more exhausti
vely treated
j
than heretofore and it now includes every rule
,
and oint that could possibly be comprehende
d in its
p
title.
The former work commended
itself to the attention
—
of thousands of readers and this
new volume sli htly
,
g
—
altered in its title has been received by Society in
eneral with the marked success of its predecessor.
