Manly Manners
Manly Manners: The Cultivation of the Inner, Spiritual Gentleman is volume 2 of a three-volume treatise on modern men's manners and lifestyle by lawyer, fashion designer, former senator, and senate liaison to the White House Wayne James. James maintains that ethics forms the foundation of etiquette. He offers both an expansion and deconstruction of the gentleman's motto: "Think good thoughts, feel good feelings, do good deeds." Manly Manners argues that good manners emanate from a man's good soul. For a man to be good toward others, he must first be fundamentally happy and at peace with himself. It answers a host of questions: What characteristics define a true gentleman? Was Jesus Christ truly more innately divine than other men? How does a young man identify his genius--the thing he was born to do that he is better at than anyone else? Is greatness everyone's birthright, or is it reserved for a chosen few? Manly Manners Volume II provides the pathway for a gentleman's spiritual evolution and equilibrium. "Emily Post ...would shiver in her petticoat at some of the subjects James takes on." --Foreword Clarion Reviews "The treatise is a veritable encyclopedia on modern men's lifestyle." --Baron Peter von Troil

In 1864, amid headline-grabbing heresy trials, members of the British Association for the Advancement of Science were asked to sign a declaration affirming that science and scripture were in agreement. Many criticized the new test of orthodoxy; nine decided that collaborative action was required. The X Club tells their story. These six ambitious professionals and three wealthy amateurs—J. D. Hooker, T. H. Huxley, John Tyndall, John Lubbock, William Spottiswoode, Edward Frankland, George Busk, T. A. Hirst, and Herbert Spencer—wanted to guide the development of science and public opinion on issues where science impinged on daily life, religious belief, and politics. They formed a private dining club, which they named the X Club, to discuss and further their plans. As Ruth Barton shows, they had a clear objective: they wanted to promote “scientific habits of mind,” which they sought to do through lectures, journalism, and science education. They devoted enormous effort to the expansion of science education, with real, but mixed, success. For twenty years, the X Club was the most powerful network in Victorian science—the men succeeded each other in the presidency of the Royal Society for a dozen years. Barton’s group biography traces the roots of their success and the lasting effects of their championing of science against those who attempted to limit or control it, along the way shedding light on the social organization of science, the interactions of science and the state, and the places of science and scientific men in elite culture in the Victorian era.
