It is likely that this guide to etiquette was initially published as a collection of columns in a newspaper or a magazine such as Harper's. This assumption is supported by the chapters discussing weddings in various seasons, which highlight the evolving fashion trends. Noteworthy aspects of this manual include instructions on performing the German dance, also known as Cotillon, as well as extensive discussions and comparisons of English, French, and other European customs with American practices. It serves as a comprehensive guide to European etiquette. Additionally, the book provides guidance on proper conduct for unmarried women who have transitioned into adulthood, appropriate attire for numerous occasions, and three chapters dedicated to addressing matters pertaining to household staff and servants.
