Summary "The American Gentleman's Guide to Politeness and Fashion" by Henry Lunettes is a collection of instructional letters written in the mid-19th century. This guide offers advice on the art of politeness and the nuances of fashion for young gentlemen, emphasizing the importance of personal presentation and social etiquette. With a focus on dressing appropriately and cultivating good manners, it aims to equip its readers with the knowledge to navigate social situations with grace and refinement. At the start of the book, Lunettes introduces his project by addressing his young male relatives, expressing his intention to discuss various aspects of gentlemanly behavior, beginning with an emphasis on dress. He outlines the significance of adhering to fashion while also advocating for individual taste, and he critiques the eccentricities of certain styles that stray too far from conventional propriety. Through anecdotes and practical advice, Lunettes further exemplifies the connection between one's appearance and character, establishing a foundation on which the following letters will build elaborate discussions on manners, accomplishments, and the moral education of a gentleman.
