Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Manners That Win: Compiled From the Latest Authorities A traveler who explores a strange city cares little for vague descriptions which mention, in a general way, stately buildings, galleries Of art, and his toric ruins which are deserving Of notice; what he wants is a guide book with a full map which names every street, and points out every locality Of interest, and which tells him clearly and concisely just where to go, and how to go, where the best hotels are, cost of carriages and guides and how to find them, and all the minute directions which save time and money, and make it possible to avoid mistakes. A manual Of deportment to be useful must contain, in like manner specific and minute directions rather than fine discourses and glittering generalities. It will be useful as it is clear, concise, and exact in matters of detail. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
