Dear Caroline

Thanks for making the bibliography. Here is a "summing-up" of the book for you:
Regency Etiquette is an amusing, how-to book written in 1811 that covers female manners, dress, and dancing.. There are fashion illustrations and recipes for cosmetics. The constant references to the ancient Greeks shows the mentality of the elegant ladies of the time.
