one who uses silly and senseless
exclamations is not far away from him. One of the marks of a gentleman
is his complete mastery of himself under the most trying and aggravating
circumstances.

These are but few of the many "don'ts" which it seems necessary to
repeat in works of this kind. For a more extended catalogue of social
and grammatical sins, the reader is referred to that excellent book The
Verbalist, by Alfred Ayres, and the clever little _brochure_ Don't. A
careful study of these will assist him much in reviewing elementary
questions, the knowledge of which was taken for granted by the author of
the Complete Bachelor.
