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. ( )
I love old etiquette books, and Emily Post is the queen of etiquette. Need to know how to properly slurp soup or be escorted across the dance floor? This is your book!
Emily Post's famous treatise of the art of Etiquette, much of the rules have gone to the wayside these days, but still a useful reference for special occasions.

“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.
