Defoe provides a detailed account of the social hierarchy in England at the time, and offers advice on how a gentleman should conduct himself in various situations. He emphasizes the importance of good manners and proper behavior, and provides examples of both good and bad behavior.The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on a different aspect of gentlemanly behavior. These include dress and appearance, behavior in public and private, conversation and wit, and education and learning. Throughout the book, Defoe draws on his own experiences and observations to provide practical advice for aspiring gentlemen. He also includes anecdotes and stories to illustrate his points and to entertain his readers.Overall, The Complete English Gentleman is a fascinating insight into the social norms and expectations of 18th century England, and provides valuable lessons on etiquette and behavior that are still relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
