"The Gentleman's Model Letter-writer" by Anonymous is a collection of correspondence templates written in the late 19th century. This manual provides a comprehensive guide to crafting letters on various subjects, including invitations, applications, and formal requests, while also offering commercial forms. The likely topic of the book is rooted in the protocols of polite and professional letter writing, showcasing the appropriate tone and structure needed for different contexts. At the start of the manual, the preface outlines the objective behind the compilation: to fill the gap that exists despite the numerous letter-writing guides already available. The opening section gives a taste of its practical value by introducing examples of letter templates, such as invitations to social gatherings, acknowledgments of congratulations, and applications for various services.
