E-text prepared by Barbara Tozier, Julia Miller, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Ladies' Vase; Or, Polite Manual for Young Ladies" by American lady is a collection of instructional essays written in the mid-19th century. This work aims to educate young women on the importance of manners, politeness, and personal development in a society that values these attributes. It offers advice on various topics, including good manners, communication, and self-presentation, emphasizing a Christian moral foundation as the guiding principle for behavior. The opening of the manuscript sets the tone for this guide, beginning with a preface that addresses the need for accessible knowledge regarding female character and manners, suggesting that existing literature is often too costly. The subsequent chapters introduce central themes such as the essence of true politeness, the importance of good manners, and the influence of proper conduct on character development. The author emphasizes that genuine politeness stems from right feelings and Christ-like principles, distinguishing true politeness from superficial or false displays of etiquette. This early portion establishes a framework for understanding how personal conduct and character can impact social interactions, outlining the significance of fostering genuine virtues in young ladies.
