Annie Frost is a treatise on etiquette and societal norms in America, written during the late 19th century. This work serves as a comprehensive guide, addressing various aspects of conduct in social situations, from invitations and introductions to conversation and behavior at public and private gatherings. It aims to provide reliable directives for individuals navigating the complexities of social interactions to avoid the pitfalls of faux pas.  The opening portion of the text introduces the purpose and rationale behind the need for a definitive manual on etiquette in society. Frost discusses the diversity of opinions regarding manners, emphasizing that while certain individuals may dismiss etiquette as frivolous, a well-structured code is essential for maintaining civility and harmony in social interactions. She highlights the importance of understanding the unwritten laws governing behavior, which are derived from custom and necessity. Additionally, the book outlines a variety of topics to be covered, including introductions, calls, and proper forms of salutation, establishing a foundation for the detailed guidance that follows in later chapters.
