The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politeness

Much,
however,
will
depend
upon
how
you
use
the
opportunities
within
your
reach.
There
are
many
opportunities
of
practice
in
large
towns;
and
foreigners
give
all
facilities,
by
their
readiness
to
converse,
their
good-nature
in
listening,
and
in
helping
the
beginner
by
kind
hints.
If
a
young
lady,
with
simplicity,
good
breeding,
and
good
taste,
endeavors
to
speak
whenever
she
has
an
opportunity,
words
will
come
as
if
by
intuition.
Do
not
think
of
by-standers
and
lookers-on;
think
only
of
the
individual
to
whom
you
are
addressing
yourself.
If
possible,
be
not
abashed
by
one
or
two
errors
at
the
first
plunge--swim
on
till
you
have
confidence.
The
effort,
I
grant,
is
great,
and
it
may
be
obviated
by
a
foreign
education;
but
where
this
is
impossible,
the
freedom
acquired
will
more
than
repay
the
exertion.
In
foreign
literature,
walk
carefully,
and
if
you
have
an
older,
wiser
head
than
your
own
to
point
out
the
best
paths,
improve
the
advantage.
One
cannot
help
deeming
it
a
great
era
in
education
that
German
is
cultivated
as
well
as
Italian
and
French,
and
that
stores
of
literature
are
opened,
to
vary
the
delights
of
intellect,
and
to
give
freshness
and
interest
to
the
studies
of
youth.
The
rapture
with
which
the
works
of
Schiller
are
perused
in
the
original,
seems
to
repay
the
hours
devoted
to
German;
and
I
am
sure
the
perusal
of
Tasso,
or
of
the
Aristodemo
of
Monti,
would
reward
the
study
of
Italian,
were
not
the
acquisition
of
that
exquisite
language
of
itself
a
source
of
poetic
pleasure.
