The title of this work sufficiently indicates the nature of its contents. The Usages of Good Society relate not only to good manners and to good breeding, but also to the proper etiquette to be observed on every occasion. (From "Introductory Remarks")
Note: The abbreviation viz. (or viz without a full stop) is short for the Latin videlicet, which itself is a contraction of the Latin phrase videre licet, meaning "it is permitted to see". (Wikipedia) (8 hr 39 min)

Very British Empire

Quite useful if you are planning to be presented at court in 1899. Court dress seemed to be running another hundred years behind, though. Most of the narrators were fine, but a couple had volume problems.
