Summary "Manners for Men" by Mrs. Humphry is a guide on etiquette written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a comprehensive manual on proper conduct for men in various social situations, emphasizing the importance of good manners in both public and private life. The author discusses a wide range of topics, from behavior in the street to conduct at dinner parties, covering the essentials of being perceived as a gentleman. The opening of the book introduces the idea of a woman's ideal man, describing traits such as thoughtfulness, moral strength, and kindness as essential elements. The author emphasizes that a true gentleman must be polished in both heart and mind, highlighting the necessity of social refinement that stems from education and character. Early discussions in the text outline foundational beliefs about manners at home, suggesting that a young man's training in etiquette begins in familiar settings, implying that these personal standards will extend to his interactions within broader society. The piece sets the tone for the subsequent detailed exploration of etiquette expected of men in various social contexts, reinforcing the notion that manners are both a reflection of one's upbringing and a crucial element of societal acceptance.
