Produced by Steven desJardins and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Complete Bachelor: Manners for Men" by Walter Germain is a guidebook focused on social etiquette for bachelors, written in the late 19th century. The book aims to fill a gap in existing etiquette literature by addressing the specific needs and concerns of single men, particularly in New York society. With practical advice on grooming, dress, social interactions, and entertaining, it intends to equip bachelors with the knowledge necessary to navigate social situations with confidence and grace. The opening of the work sets the tone for its educational intent, introducing readers to fundamental social expectations placed on men in public. Germain emphasizes the importance of proper demeanor, highlighting how appearance, conduct, and manners can greatly impact a man's reputation. He provides practical guidance on topics such as walking with women, proper dress codes for different times of day, and basic decorum in various public settings. Overall, the beginning establishes a foundational understanding of the social grace expected of a bachelor, serving as a precursor to more specific advice that follows in subsequent chapters.
