At the start of the book, the preface sets the tone by defining etiquette as the "art of doing the proper thing in the proper way," indicating its relevance across social classes. It discusses the necessity of having an understanding of social rules to enhance one's experiences in society. The opening portion introduces the themes of introductions, bowing, salutations, and social interactions, detailing proper forms and expected behaviors, thereby laying the foundation for the various topics that will follow in the rest of the manual. It highlights the significance of refined manners and provides insights intended to elevate the reader's social skills and enjoyment of social occasions. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
