"Habits and Men, with Remnants of Record Touching the Makers of Both" by Dr. Doran examines how our behaviors, customs, and clothing choices define who we are in society during the 1800s. Thoughtfully composed with both humor and instruction, Doran looks at the historical impact of fashion and social standards on men and women. The book starts off by examining the importance of dress and habits while giving examples from events in the past and famous books, while mentioning the changes in social norms. The author thinks about the viewpoints on vanity and good behavior, and how appearance influences a person's reputation and place in the community. Through stories and writing, Doran presents a detailed look at how society's fashion standards affect who we think we are, delivering a combination of advice and entertainment.
