How to Behave: A Pocket Manual of Republican Etiquette, and Guide to Correct Personal Habits
Samuel Roberts Wells
Republican etiquette sounds like a contradiction, and Samuel Wells wrote a whole pocket manual to prove it is not. Beginning with the daily bath and clean feet, he builds from personal habits to speech, dress and company, insisting that self-respect, not birth, makes the gentleman. Manners for a democracy, 1850s vintage. Politeness without a pedigree.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
