DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from A Social Manual for San Francisco and Oakland: With Addresses of People of Society, Membership of Clubs, and Miscellaneous Matter for Social or Business Use The name "Social Manual" which the editor has given to this hook explains its purpose. It is merely a hand-book for ready reference. It aims not to direct society but to aid it by furnishing the kind of information which society specially needs. This is simply its excuse for being, and this relieves it from whatever aspersions may be cast upon it for its alleged effort to segregate and define our local world of fashion. The lines which it draws are not arbitrary. No one is stigmatized by being omitted from its lists. It cannot be regarded as the expression of individual opinion, for a score or more representatives of the best society in San Francisco have given their advice and active assistance in its preparation. The work is of a character that precludes the idea of infallibility. The information given includes many particulars of a personal nature all of which have had to be elicited by director indirect inquiry. It was impossible to see every person whose name is mentioned, and facts filtered through many media gain more or less inaccuracy in transmission. Human memories have the fallibility of their possessors. Further than this, society is subject to constant fluctuations. Any social directory that is right to-day must necessarily in some respects be wrong to-morrow. If therefore the book is judged by that which is in it and is accurate, rather than by that which is casually incorrect or omitted, he will gain a better idea of its true value and of the very considerable labor that has entered into its compilation and composition.
