I particularly like:
Frown not, nor murmur if there be any thing at the table which thy parents or strangers with them eat of, whilst thou hast none given thee.
And...
Put not a bit into thy mouth till the former be swallowed.

Mind Your Manners
With Thanksgiving dinner coming soon I thought we could use a lesson in table manners. The kids and I get such a kick out of this book. It's taken directly from a 19th century etiquette book for children. The pictures are hilarious and there's a twist on who is the worst behaved at dinner.
