About this book
The Principles of the Art of Conversation is a book by J. P. Mahaffy. The preface says it may fairly be added that a writer on the principles of conversation ought to live in a country where the practice of it is confessedly on a high level. The text says no man requires to practise unselfishness more than the silent man.
The text says silent people not only take all they can get in society for nothing, but take it without the smallest gratitude. The text says the case is not so bad among us, where there are always great commoners, where eminent success in making money, or even in letters, brings men and women into the highest society. The text mentions a blunt man, whose simplicity takes the form of rudeness.
