A concise guide to giving meaningful, appropriate toasts for virtually any occasion, from the author of How to Be a Gentleman.
A Gentleman Raises His Glass teaches how to prepare a toast for virtually any occasion—be it a wedding, a celebratory dinner, or any social celebration where a tribute would be welcome. It also tells the history of the toast, gives examples of the right and wrong things to say, and contains more than fifty aphorisms on toasting:
  • A gentleman knows that, unless he is seated in a crowded public restaurant, he must stand to deliver a toast
  • When a gentleman makes a toast, he makes it directly to his guest of honor, not to the table at large
  • A gentleman knows that a toast, even at a bachelor's dinner, is still intended to be a tribute—not an embarrassment
