The Footman's Directory and Butler's Rememberancer: Or The Advice of Onesimus to His Young Friends is a book written by Onesimus in 1823. The book is a guide for young men who aspire to work as footmen or butlers in wealthy households. The author, Onesimus, was himself a footman and butler, and he shares his knowledge and experience in this book to help others in the same profession.The book is divided into several chapters, each covering a different aspect of the job. The first chapter provides advice on how to dress, behave, and speak properly in front of employers and guests. The second chapter covers the duties of a footman, including how to wait at table, serve wine, and clean silver. The third chapter focuses on the role of a butler, including how to manage the household staff, order supplies, and keep accounts.Throughout the book, Onesimus emphasizes the importance of honesty, diligence, and respect for one's employer. He also provides tips on how to deal with difficult situations, such as handling drunken guests or responding to criticism from the employer.The Footman's Directory and Butler's Rememberancer is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of domestic service or the etiquette of the early 19th century. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the daily lives of footmen and butlers, and offers practical advice that is still relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
