Annotation
In colonial Australia, manners marked the difference between savagery and civilization, vulgarity and refinement. An intriguing account chronicling behavior, respect, and etiquette, this record answers questions such as When a New South Wales political leader meets a member of the royal family, should they shake hands? and When doctors disagree over the treatment of a patient, should they settle their dispute by appealing to their colleagues or by dueling? Spanning from 1788 through 1914, this book is a delightful and fascinating journey through colonial Australia's social history.
