About This Book

The author offers concise, practical guidance for adolescent and young adult men on cultivating courteous behavior, social etiquette, and self-presentation, arguing that attention to small daily manners aids social and professional advancement. Chapters outline rules of conduct, distinctions between genuine gentlemanly character and mere affectation, clear spoken and written expression, letter-writing, recommended reading and a modest home bookshelf, appreciation of Shakespeare, and the balance of conversation, work, and leisure, closing with reflections on the everyday pleasures that enrich personal life.
