1800s Advice and Etiquette for Men
A gentleman always attends to the choice of his amusements. If at cards, he will not play at cribbage, all-fours, or putt; or, in sports of exercise, be seen at skittles, foot-ball, leap- frog , cricket, driving of coaches, & c. for he knows that such an imitation of the manners of the mob will indelibly stamp him with vulgarity.
