Description
Pre-owned. This has been illustrated as far as possible by fragmentary dialogues, treating of a variety of subjects applicable to the situation of the moment. To those who are silent when in society, not because they consider that though speech is silver, silence is golden, but because they have no ready change in the way of silver at command, the present work will, it is hoped, commend itself, and be of some little service at all society gatherings and in general society. No dust jacket. Brown cloth cover in good condition and still fairly bright. There is a previous owner’s signature on the first page in ink dated 1943. A price (£15) and the initials(?) MN are written in pencil on the second page at top right. The initials(?) BAX and the number 1187 written in pencil at top left of inside penultimate page. A little light foxing. Binding a little loose and the front hinge slightly cracked. Hardcover. Published by Frederick Warne & Co., London. Undated but estimated to be around 1878
