HTML:The original guide to good manners explains why "nothing is less important than which fork you use." Etiquette is the science of living. It embraces everything. It is ethics. It is honor.
A popular phenomenon when it was first published in 1922, Emily Post's Etiquette quickly established her as the undisputed authority on considerate behavior. Her books, syndicated column, and radio program soon made the phrase "according to Emily Post" part of the American lexicon. Though updated editions have appeared over the years, the original text is both a fascinating window into American high society at the dawn of the Roaring Twenties and a timeless testament to the value of social grace.
Covering a broad range of topics, Etiquette includes chapters on "Tea and Other Afternoon Parties," "Balls and Dances," "Etiquette in Business and Politics," and "Travelling at Home and Abroad." This edition also includes an introduction by editor Richard Duffy as well as photographic illustrations throughout.

An excellent book that describes in detail what ones footmen and upstairs maids should wear and how they should act when answering the door. An absolute must for anyone who has an extensive household and wants the silver polished daily. ( )

“Society” is an ambiguous term; it may mean much or nothing. Every human being—unless dwelling alone in a cave—is a member of society of one sort or another, and therefore it is well to define what is to be understood by the term “Best Society” and why its authority is recognized. Best Society abroad is always the oldest aristocracy; composed not so much of persons of title, which may be new, as of those families and communities which have for the longest period of time known highest cultivation.
[Chapter 1, 1940 ed.] One is apt to think of Etiquette as being of no more real service to the average citizen than a top hat -- something that is of importance to none but brides or diplomats or the newly-rich or persons lately elected to political office.

And all this means? Merely one more incident added to the many great facts that prove us a wonderful nation. (But this is an aside merely, and not to be talked about to anyone except just ourselves!) At the same time it is no idle boast that the world is at present looking toward America; and whatever we become is bound to lower or raise the standards of life. The other countries are old, we are youth personified! We have all youth’s glorious beauty and strength and vitality and courage. If we can keep these attributes and add finish and understanding and perfect taste in living and thinking, we need not dwell on the Golden Age that is past, but believe in the Golden Age that is sure to be.

Replicas of this book, originally entitled "Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics and at Home," have recently been printed with simply "Etiquette" on the cover but the full title on the title page. These are the same work, but "Emily Post's Etiquette" by Peggy Post is a different work.
