Description:When Grace and Philip Wharton found that they had pleased the world withtheir "Queens of Society," they very sensibly resolved to follow uptheir success with a companion work. Their first book had been all aboutwomen; the second book should be all about men. Accordingly they set towork selecting certain types that pleased them; they wrote a freshcollection of pleasant essays and presented the reading public with"Wits and Beaux of Society". The one book is as good as the other; thereis not a pin to choose between them. There is the same bright easy,gossiping style, the same pleasing rapidity. There is nothing tedious,nothing dull anywhere. They do not profess to have anything to do withthe graver processes of history--these entertaining volumes; they seekrather to amuse than to instruct, and they fulfil their purposeexcellently. There is instruction in them, but it comes in by the way;one is conscious of being entertained, and it is only after theentertainment is over that one finds that a fair amount of informationhas been thrown in to boot. The Whartons have but old tales to tell, butthey tell them very well, and that is the first part of their business.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
