They aid our dealing and conversation, as a railway aids travelling, by getting rid of all avoidable obstructions of the road, and leaving nothing to be conquered but pure space.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e -Ralph Waldo Emerson, Manners (1844)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmerson's essay on Manners (1844) is an explication of the value of manners in society. Emerson believed that the primary reason for manners was to facilitate the creation and functioning of a social order. At the same time, he sought to dispel the idea that manners reflect a basic difference among classes in society, noting that lower classes sometimes emulate the mannerisms of their superiors without really understanding the purpose of social graces or manners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cosimo Classics","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47616042238103,"sku":"9781646795369","price":506.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781646795369.webp?v=1775104311","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/manners-9781646795369","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
