The Word and the Way

By Mr. Evan B Wilson and Mrs. Leslie A Wilson

This is a book on the philosophy of mannered behavior structured as 15 rules of a gentleman and 15 rules for a lady. It also includes four basic practical guides on foundational manners.Condensed from the author's study of both Lord Chesterfield and Count Castiglione, these developed first as a list of thought provoking "rules" and expanded into the short essays available here. The Foundational Manners section is a simple overview of the areas where a more ordered behavior would be beneficial to all. The authors have said, "We are Humane to the degree we govern ourselves, Civilized to the degree we are governed in an ordered society, and Noble to the degree we are of governing service to it."
