Hardcover. Condition: Fair. John Trusler (illustrator). A delightful work, by a self-proclaimed 18th century jack-of-all trades and master-of-all, John Trusler. Prepared and published by the author, Honours of the Table functions as a how-to for considerations of the 18th century dinner table; it still holds strong interest for what it did accomplish (meat carving and market guide) and what it endeavored to accomplish (burdensome and humorous late 18th century social guidelines). This work has developed particular interest for culinary collectors; it contains an early illustrated guide to properly cutting various meats, The Art of Carving, and a guide to selecting meat, eggs, etc. at the market. The chapters on appropriate 18th century table behavior, for both "youth" and "young women", contain a number of eyebrow raising guidelines. Just a few quotes, from many: "Smell not your meat when eating." "Spit not on the carpet." "Punch no one in conversation." For young women: "Dread becoming cheap." "Read no novels, but let your study be in history, etc." "Trust no female acquaintance." Trusler, in contemporary advertisements, was proud of his works; regarding his The Progress of Man and Society, he states: ". it will be found to be the most entertaining and informing book that ever yet was published, and what every parent or instructor should put in the hands of youth." And when discussing the woodcuts he prepared for Proverbs Exemplified: ". so well designed, and the characters in human life so well drawn and preserved, the persons of taste may examine them with pleasure; and Dr. Trusler ventures to say, are no ways inferior to Hogarth's." Unfortunately this copy does not include his aggrandizing advertisements. Title Page - Not uncommon to this period, the title page attempts to describe the entire work: The Honours of the Table, or, Rules for Behaviour During Meals; with the whole Art of Carving, illustrated by a variety of cuts. Together with Directions for Going to the Market, and the Method of Distinguishing Good Provisions from Bad; to which is added A Number of Hints or Concise Lessons for the Improvement of Youth, on all Occasions in Life. By the Author of Principles of Politeness, etc. For the Use of Young People. Physical Attributes - Measures approx. 16 x 10 x 1 cm, 12mo. Calf binding. Illustrated. Pages - 120.

'There is no living well in society without submitting to, and failing in with, the forms of it, absurd as many of them may be - but fashion is absurd in most of its modes.' A rare survival of the revised edition, published in the year after the first, of Church of England clergyman John Trusler's (1735-1820) manual for young gentlemen on social conduct, that includes a lengthy impassioned remonstrance of the 'horrid practice' of duelling. In addition to guidance on securing the correct confident attitudes ('Every young gentleman, when arrived at manhood; if he be a gentleman by birth, by fortune, by profession of education.is fit company for a prince'), this work positively brims with practical guidance on riding, conversation, addressing correspondence, dining and other encounters of polite society. Whilst Trusler recognises the frequent absurdities of Regency fashion, his work was evidently an invaluable guide to the nuances of it. Trusler published a wide-range of guidebooks and manuals, composed both by himself and others, most notably his compendium of dates and historical tables Chronology, or, The Historian's Vade-Mecum (1769). He is also credited with publishing the first thesaurus to the English language, entitled The Difference between Words Esteemed Synonymous (1766). All editions are scarce, with this second being no exception; OCLC and COPAC together record copies at just three locations (BL, Cambridge, and Oxford). Size: 12mo.
