YOUNG LADY'S GUIDE

Harvey Newcomb’s ‘Young Lady’s Guide’ is a 19th-century manual of Christian womanhood that steers between the shoals of legalism and licence. Topics include dress, conversation, friendship, courtship, and the cultivation of a meek and quiet spirit, all grounded in Scripture rather than mere etiquette. The tone is fatherly, the examples realistic, and the gospel always central. A refreshing antidote to modern vanity and a constructive alternative to cultural conformity.
