Regardless of time period, some things hold true: kindness is timeless.Invasion of privacy; divorce; relationship issues; encounters between people from different places and cultures; new technologies developed at dizzying speeds . . . the hectic pace of life in the late nineteenth century could make the mind reel.Wait a minutethe nineteenth century?Many of the issues people faced in the 1880s and 90s surprisingly remain problems in todays modern world, so why not take a peek at some Victorian advice about negotiating lifes dizzying twists and turns? Gathered from period magazines and Hills Manual of Social and Business Forms, a book on social conduct originally published in 1891, this volume provides timeless guidance for a myriad of situations, including:The husbands duty: Give your wife every advantage that it is possible to bestow.Suggestions about shopping: Purchasers should, as far as possible, patronize the merchants of their own town. (Buy local!)Suggestions for travel: Having paid for one ticket, you are entitled to only one seat. It shows selfishness to deposit a large amount of baggage in the surrounding seats and occupy three or four.Unclassified laws of etiquette: Never leave home with unkind words.This advice is accompanied by watercolors and illustrations throughout. Though these are tips originate from nineteenthcentury ideas, youll find that they certainly do still apply.
