    Wonderful! The original Handbook for Gentlemen. While, you are unlikely to ever approach the diversity of excellencies described herein, this text motivates and inspires the average to good, the good to better, and the better to best. Discovery the "Order of the Garter" membership qualifications, extraordinary respect, acceptance, and glorification of intelligent and powerful women, the emergence of Elizabeth I, Shakespeare's patron, founder of the British Empire, and bridge to the Protestant Reformation and Enlightenment Science ,

    Historically, a very important work. Ultimately, a bit formulaic. In some ways, it could easily be reduced to a one-page summary. Apparently printed on demand, dated the day after it was ordered.

    This is a delightful way to spend a relaxing, rainy day. Just picture people breathlessly awaiting an evening of conversation about - people like themselves! Good breeding and good behavior never goes out of style; this book recognizes how important a role that played in their day to day life in the court of royals. The extensive foot notes are nearly as enjoyable as the book. A fun read that was well transcribed to the Kindle format.

    The book's translator is in a class by himself, as the narration flows seemlessly and is completely appropriate to the era being treated -- my compliments!!!
