The art of letter writing is not dead - in fact, the love letter is still one of the most popular forms of expressing devotion. First published in 1867 when letter writing was the only means of conveying innermost feelings, "Love Letters" is an exquisite guide to the art of passionate letter writing. After a charming description of the nature of love, marriage, and romance, the author explains how to begin and end a letter of love, and offers advice on the use of candour and the danger of stepping over the line. Wonderful specimen letters are the heart of the book and include "From a Gentleman aware of several other Suitors", "To a Lady stranger seen at Church", "A Renewed offer from a Rejected Suitor", "To a friend asking introduction to a Lady", and many more.
