| Summary | "Manners & Cvstoms of ye Englyshe" by Richard Doyle is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century, around the year 1911. This work provides a satirical exploration of the societal norms and daily happenings in England during the mid-19th century, as seen through the eyes of a fictional narrator who reflects on various events and cultural observations. It aims to entertain while also critiquing the eccentricities and follies of English life during that time. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the Contributor's Preface, where the narrator muses over how fascinating it would be if historical figures, such as the philosopher Socrates, could return to modern-day England and comment on contemporary society. The narrator reveals his intention to evoke the spirit of the historical character Mr. Pips, who is known for chronicling daily life in a previous era. As he sets the stage, readers are presented with a vivid assortment of scenes, beginning with his observations at social gatherings, public events, and the general merriment of various corners of society, all noted with a blend of humor and keen insight into the English character.
