310 + [1] ad pp. Blindstamped brown cloth, gilt-lettered spine. Revised & Enlarged Edition. NY: Harper & Bros., 1852.
A pre-Civil War volume on American etiquette, which the author felt "induced to write...by observing that nearly all who have treated manners, have inculcated pernicious opinions, appealed to unworthy motives, and taught a heartless and selfish system of politeness." Timely!
Near fine - a treasure.
