Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Ex-library. Original publisher's green cloth binding with gilt lettering on front cover and spine. 5 1/4" x 7 1/2." 235 pages, complete. Black-and-white bookplate from the De Blaey Loan Library of Albany, New York is tipped in on front pastedown. Former owner's signature and inscription in black ink on front free endpaper. Pages are very clean and intact except for light age toning throughout. Covers are very clean and intact except for minuscule rubbing, slight wear to extremities, and a few almost imperceptible marks on back. Parts of the gutter are split, but binding is still strong and holding. A Very Good copy. A unique compendium of advice and example dialogs that illustrate how to be an expert conversationalist during the late nineteenth century. The book appears to be aimed toward society men and women. The book begins with an introduction that explains the traits of a good conversationalist and that one can learn the art of conversation through practice and learning. Following the introduction are many examples of questions and replies one can utilize depending on the individual they are speaking with, the setting, and the occasion. For example, sample dialogs are given for accepting or declining house calls, declining to join an event, striking up a conversation at dinner parties, accepting or refusing a ballroom dance, conversing with new acquaintances, carrying on conversations at flower shows and garden parties, and avoiding or deflecting idle gossip. There is also advice on good listening, how to carry on a conversation in general, and what subjects to talk about such as the weather, appearance of a host's residence, scientific discoveries, or the latest books. The author of this book is anonymous and simply referred to as "the author of 'Manners and Rules of Good Society.'" This latter work, in turn, only credits the author as a "Member of the Aristocracy.". Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 025679
