| Summary | "How to Behave: A Pocket Manual of Republican Etiquette" by Samuel R. Wells is a guide to proper etiquette and personal conduct written in the late 19th century. This manual aims to instruct young Americans in the principles of good manners, personal hygiene, social behavior, and appropriateness in various contexts, such as dining, conversation, and dress. The book emphasizes the importance of etiquette as not merely superficial rules, but as reflections of one's moral character and societal respect. The opening portion of the manual sets the stage for its comprehensive examination of etiquette by introducing the foundational concepts of cleanliness and personal habit. It underscores the idea that good manners begin with the individual, highlighting the duties owed to oneself and to others in social interactions. Wells elaborates on essential personal hygiene practices, such as bathing, grooming, and dressing appropriately for various contexts, emphasizing that a well-cared-for appearance is not only a social obligation but also crucial for one's self-esteem and acceptance within society. Throughout this introduction, the author advocates for a holistic approach to etiquette, linking personal habits with broader social principles and moral duties.
