About the author
Little biographical information about this author could be confirmed from reliable sources consulted here, but G. R. M. Devereux is clearly associated with etiquette writing from the early 1900s.
Project Gutenberg lists The Etiquette of Engagement and Marriage, first published in January 1903, and identifies Devereux as the author of Etiquette for Women. Other library and bookseller records also connect the name with Etiquette for Men and later reprints such as A Book of Edwardian Etiquette.
Taken together, these works suggest an author whose specialty was explaining the social rules of courtship, weddings, dress, and everyday behavior. Even when the personal details remain obscure, the writing survives as a useful snapshot of how manners and relationships were understood in that period.
