Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Didactics Social, Literary, and Political, Vol. 2 of 2 On this subject many treatises, grave and gay, have been published, in all languages. Some thirty or more years ago, everybody read "Lord Chesterfield´s Letters;" with more profit to the minor than to the greater morals. Such books as "The Complete Gentleman," "Casa´s Treatise," "The Courtier´s Guide," &c. &c. have also been in great vogue, but, superseded of late years, by countless epitomes and manuals. Among those of recent date, the very best, in our humble estimation, is the "Parisian Madame Celnart´s Code of Politeness," of which the good Boston translation has passed through a second edition. The object of the lady is to teach youth of both sexes "propriety of deportment," that is, according to the highest authorities and practice of the French capital, where the bienseances, the rules of good-breeding, are supposed to be better understood than elsewhere. It may be a matter of some curiosity, as it is certainly instructive, to know what are the views and reasonings of an accomplished lady of Paris on this important and copious subject, and what she deems to be the received canons and approved usages of the French haut or bon ton.
