[gift books, etiquette, moral fortitude]
Little Things in Every-Day Life
16mo, 71pp. Blue cloth with decoration in red and gilt; a.e.g. Very Good with light rubbing to corners and spotting to rear board, a few small chips to the bottom edge of the glazed endpapers, mild foxing.
A fairly bossy gift book that concludes with the quote, "Twas but a little sin this morn that entered in, / And lo! at eventide the world is drowned." Not in OCLC. Described in contemporary publisher's ad as, "A clever brochure which with charm and strength discourses on duties, cares, efforts, sins, pleasures, and kindnesses. The many readers of Prof. Drummond's booklets will appreciate this one fully."
