Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Art of Conversation: Giving Hints, Suggestions and Rules for Cultivating and Promoting Pleasant Social Intercourse
Essayists, and more modern authorities, such as the Quarterly and other Reviews, have, by their remarks, and their many hints and suggestions, shewn their high appreciation of the value of conversation, their sense of the frequent errors committed in it, and of the necessity for some care and study to enable us to conduct it with taste, propriety and advantage. In this, as in every thing else we do, innumerable faults occur, from which much enjoyment and many, opportunities of instruction and improvement are lost; while, very often, bad feeling is created. No apology seems necessary, therefore, for an endea.
