''The Pretty Gentleman Or Softness Of Manners: Vindicated From The False Ridicule Exhibited Under The Character Of William Fribble'' is a book written by Nathaniel Lancaster in 1885. The book aims to defend the concept of softness of manners and the idea of a ''pretty gentleman'' against the false ridicule that was being exhibited under the character of William Fribble. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which deals with a different aspect of the topic. The author begins by defining what he means by the term ''pretty gentleman'' and explains the importance of softness of manners in society. He then goes on to discuss the different qualities that make up a pretty gentleman, such as politeness, elegance, and refinement.The book also addresses the criticism that has been leveled against the idea of a pretty gentleman, particularly in the form of the character of William Fribble. The author argues that Fribble is not a true representation of the concept and that his portrayal is a false caricature.Throughout the book, the author provides examples of real-life pretty gentlemen, such as Lord Chesterfield and the Duke of Marlborough, to illustrate his points. He also includes anecdotes and stories that demonstrate the importance of softness of manners in various situations.Overall, ''The Pretty Gentleman Or Softness Of Manners: Vindicated From The False Ridicule Exhibited Under The Character Of William Fribble'' is a defense of the idea of a pretty gentleman and an argument in favor of the importance of softness of manners in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
