A funny social satire, this is also an advice book, a handbook of anti-etiquette, and a comedy of manners. Collier provides a fascinating glimpse into 18th century daily life, the treatment of servants, and dependants, and the bringing up of children, and is an interesting precursor to the work of Jane Austen.
