| Summary | "Martine's Hand-book of Etiquette, and Guide to True Politeness" by Arthur Martine is a comprehensive guidebook on social etiquette written in the late 19th century. The work aims to instruct readers on the essential rules of good manners, appropriate social interactions, and the customs of refined society, focusing on how to present oneself with politeness and decorum in varied contexts, from dinner parties to conversational engagements. The opening portion of the handbook elaborates on the concept of politeness and its significance in social interactions. It defines politeness as a principle that fosters consideration for others, promoting respect and goodwill within society. The text argues against the notion that etiquette is merely superficial, emphasizing instead that etiquette serves as a vital framework for social relationships. Furthermore, the author encourages readers to cultivate courtesy and genuine concern for others' feelings to foster a pleasant social atmosphere, laying the groundwork for the detailed advice that follows in subsequent chapters.
