Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book amusingly tells the story of the hopes, habits, illusions, and foibles of servants, offering a distinct look at 18th century life. The author, who claims to have been of the profession, presents an insightful guide to the behavior and motivations of this strata of society, instructing in the subtleties, skills and etiquette of service.
