Â
Wait a minuteâ€”the nineteenth century?
Â
Many of the issues people faced in the 1880s and â€™90s were a lot like the problems in todayâ€™s modern world, so why not take a peek at some Victorian advice about negotiating lifeâ€™s dizzying twists and turns? Gathered from period magazines and Hillâ€™s Manual of Social and Business Forms, a book on social conduct originally published in 1891, this volume provides timeless guidance for a myriad of situations, including:
Â
- The husbandâ€™s duty: Give your wife every advantage that it is possible to bestow.
- Suggestions about shopping: Purchasers should, as far as possible, patronize the merchants of their own town. (Buy local!)
- Suggestions for travel: Having paid for one ticket, you are entitled to only one seat. It shows selfishness to deposit a large amount of baggage in the surrounding seats and occupy three or four.
- Unclassified laws of etiquette: Never leave home with unkind words.
Â
From the author of Victorian Secrets and This Victorian Life, this compendium of advice is accompanied by watercolors and illustrations throughout. Though these are tips originate from nineteenth-century ideas, youâ€™ll find that they certainly do still applyâ€”as well as offering a fascinating and enlightening look at the past.
