The exact rules of governing the leaving calling cards: what to do with the stones in a cherry tart; the right way way of getting into a hansom cab; the proper dinner dress on board a yacht.

This manual, originally published in 1902 was intended to act as a pilot through the maze of "correct" behaviour. In doing so, it brings the Edwardians to life as only a genuine contemporary document can. There is much humour, both conscious and unconscious.
