Beschreibung

Print on Demand. This book amusingly tells the story of the hopes, habits, illusions, and foibles of servants, offering a distinct look at 18th century life. The author, who claims to have been of the profession, presents an insightful guide to the behavior and motivations of this strata of society, instructing in the subtleties, skills and etiquette of service. The book humorously highlights the audacity, slyness and even cunning of servants in their relationships with one another, and their employers. Beyond this, the author insists that being a servant is an art, with its own set of mysteries, privileges, and preoccupations and insists that understanding their behavior and aspirations is vital to managing a well-run household. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
