Manners for Millionaires

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The British Museum could, after slight alteration, be recommended as a comfortable town Villa for the Season, but the stabling is indifferent the Completed Capitalist will appreciate the advisability of keeping a paternal eye upon the selection of the Lady-Housemaids and the Scullion-Wenches As the French say, if you wish to be "riche" you must start "de nouveau." We are unable to commend the modern ostentation of maintaining a separate private Executioner, however characteristic he might be as a hereditary relic. "Manners for Millionaires" answers the cry for instruction and guidance from the aspiring rich: our readers as still belong to the Pauper, Practically Pauper and Comparatively Pauper strata of society those, we mean, with less than 5000 a year and fewer than seventeen spare bedrooms will naturally feel grateful for a few introductory directions towards ameliorating their condition. Following the course from penury to plenty, this book is intended to help readers ascend the staircase of Prosperity. There is also a special chapter devoted specifically to American millionaires. Originally published in 1901, this humorous guide will be equally valuable for the modern millionaire."
