How to be a man and How to be a lady are two books by the nineteenth-century pastor and writer Harvey Newcomb. These two books are unfortunately not very well known nowadays, but they are excellent books on character and manners. They are realistic, not sentimentalized; plain, not complicated; direct, not meandering.
These books are more or less the same; only around a tenth or so of the books addresses boys or girls specifically, and the rest of the content is identical. Last summer I re-set the two works, bringing them together into one volume for the first time.
Today I made this book available as a soft-cover book or as a hard-cover book with dust-jacket. (You can also buy it as an ebook there, if you want.) I highly recommend it for all families to read.
