MRS. SHERWOOD'S MANNERS AND
SOCIAL USAGES IN AMERICA.
Manners and Social Usages in America. A Book
of Etiquette. By Mrs. John Sherwood, pp.448.
New and Enlarged Edition, Revised by the Au-
thor. 16ino, Extra Cloth, 41 25.
Mrs. Sherwood's admirable little volume differs from ordi-
nary works on the subject of etiquette, chiefly in the two facts
tliat it is founded on its author's personal familiarity with the
usages of really good society, and that it is inspired by good-
sense and a helpful spirit. . . . We think Mrs. Sherwood's lit-
tle book the very best and most sensible one of its kind that
we ever saw. — N. Y. Commercial Advei^iiser.
We have no hesitation in declaring it to be the best work
of the kind yet published. The author shows a just appreci-
ation of what is good-breeding and what is snobbishness. . . .
In happy discriminations the excellence of Mrs. Sherwood's
book is conspicuous. — Brooklyn Union.
It is a sensible and pleasantly written volume, which has
already won recognition as one of the best books of its kind,
and this new edition is called for by the heartiness with which
the public has endorsed the work. — Courier, Boston.
A sensible, comprehensive book, which has endured criti-
cism successfully, and deserves now to be regarded the best
book of its kind published in this country. ... A better
guide than Mrs. Sherwood's book through the paths of social
usages we do not know. The book is a handsome one, as it
ought to be. — Christian Intelligencer y N. Y.
