Reader's note

This brilliant book is still relevant to this day and contains a great many facts about the origins of language and how language is used - The word 'boycott' was introduced during the Irish outrages of 1880, being derived from the name of Captain Boycott, who was one of the first sufferers. Like Plato in 'platonic', Mesmer in 'mesmerism' Chauvin in 'chauvinism' and several other instances. - as well as being fascinating, this book also teaches the reader the art of excellent conversation and the etiquette of movement. Add some old school manners to your modern day life with this beautiful title.
