huge antique book, beautiful 1880s manual of letter writing for social & business letters

Great big 1880s book of mannerly writing for all occasions, with a wealth of beautiful graphics and typography. Some of this is good sound practice over 100 years later, some is laugh out loud funny! It's a good read.

This is Hill's Manual of Social and Business Forms - Guide to Correct Writing - With Approved Methods of Speaking and Acting in the Various Relations of Life. It's dated 1889, 581 pages, very loose but complete.
