About This Item
Detroit: George E. Pomeroy & Co., 1855. Blindstamped Cloth. Very Good. Fun to read for the foreign-ness of its mode of expression as much as some of the principles of etiquette propounded. Yet full of commonsense notions that apply equally today as back then as well. 12mo. 18.5 by 11.5 cm. vi, 168 pp. Quite uncommon in its original printing, as here. Condition: light sunning of the spine. A few minor dings of edges. Lightest of foxing in prelims. Mostly clean.
