Author Description

This hilarious book draws from the wealth of late 19th century conduct manuals. With almost 250 historic engravings, it details virtually every aspect of Victorian life, including proper etiquette for wooing and courtship, duties of wives and husbands, warnings about boozers, love at first sight, how to deal with a rejected lover, and how to avoid women who "twist and wiggle." You'll learn how to ask papa for your sweetheart's hand, proper table manners, carriage etiquette, what to say and when to say it.
