The rare first edition of Rohr’s popular guide on etiquette, manners and ceremonial conduct for private individuals, particularly aimed at young German cavaliers, nobles or gentlemen (as opposed to his 1729-work which focused on etiquette among royalty).

Julius Bernhard von Rohr was born into a noble family and grew up on their estate in Elsterwerda. He studied law at Leipzig University and also attended scientific lectures.
Apart from his academic writings in cameralism and natural sciences, Rohr was also known for his travel guides on the Harz region.
