Excerpt from The Principles of Courtesy: With Hints and Observations on Manners and Habits
IT is the design of this work to illustrate and enforce the duty of Christian courtesy. The author was induced to write it by observing that nearly all who have treated of manners, have inculcated pernicious opinions, appealed to unworthy motives, and taught a heartless and selfish system of polite ness. Much of their advice a Christian cannot too carefully shun. Without pretending to remarkable piety or surpassing refinement, or presuming to pronounce a beatitude on those who may regard his own suggestions, he cannot but heartily respond to the words of the royal Psalmist: Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly.

Excerpt from The Principles of Courtesy: With Hints and Observations on Manners and Habits
The author is not aware that any work of this kind, ih tended for the perusal of Christians in general, has hitherto been attempted. He has happened to enter what is, in some sort, untravelled territory: for while some writers have touched upon it here and there, none have gone far beyond the secular customs of polished society. He has one time or another read many of the works on manners, which have been written during the last four hundred years, and knows not how widely they may have diffused their spirit over these pages. Two or three of them have afforded him direct aid: yet the work is substantially the result of independent observation and thought. Many of the following rules were suggested while studying the sacred statutes and the Observances of primitive believers. Some very valuable precepts, however, have been derived from contemporary examples of courtesy, who, while they were unaffected-1y obeying the refined dictates of evan gelical love, were unwittingly furnishing matter for these pages.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a unique approach to the concept of courtesy, arguing that true courtesy is not merely a matter of superficial manners but a deeply rooted virtue founded on love for God and man. The author critiques existing works on manners, finding them often self-serving and lacking in genuine Christian spirit. He seeks to establish a code of courtesy grounded in the Christian faith, drawing inspiration from biblical teachings and the examples of early believers. The book delves into the thematic depth of Christian virtues like humility, gravity, and cheerfulness, demonstrating how these principles can be translated into practical social interactions. The authorââ â¢s insightful analysis challenges the prevailing notions of politeness, providing a refreshing perspective on how Christian principles can guide behavior in both religious and secular settings, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling and harmonious social life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
