Excerpt from The Bazar Book of Decorum: The Care of the Person, Manners, Etiquette and Ceremonials This book is an attempt to raise the subject of which it treats to its proper connection with health, morals, and good taste. The title is due to the fact that the author has embodied in the text several articles which were originally published by him in Harper's Bazar, These, though they form but a small portion of the whole work, may be recognized by some of the many readers of that popular periodical; if so, it is hoped that they will be thought of sufficient value to justify their reproduction in the present form.

This set provides insight into the lives of ordinary Americans free and enslaved, in farms and cities, in the North and the South, who lived during the years of 1815 to 1860. Throughout the Antebellum Era resonated the theme of change: migration, urban growth, the economy, and the growing divide between North and South all led to great changes to which Americans had to respond. By gathering the important aspects of antebellum Americans' lives into an encyclopedia, The World of Antebellum America provides readers with the opportunity to understand how people across America lived and worked, what politics meant to them, and how they shaped or were shaped by economics. Entries on simple topics such as bread and biscuits explore workers' need for calories, the role of agriculture, and gendered divisions of labor, while entries on more complex topics, such as aging and death, disclose Americans' feelings about life itself. Collectively, the entries pull the reader into the lives of ordinary Americans, while section introductions tie together the entries and provide an overarching narrative that primes readers to understand key concepts about antebellum America before delving into Americans' lives in detail.
