Regarding Beards

James A. Clay
"A man to whom nature has given a handsome beard, deforms himself sadly by shaving--at least, that is our opinion; and on this point fashion and good taste agree. The full beard is now almost as common as the shaven face in all our large cities."--How to Behave: A Pocket Manual of Etiquette and Guide to Correct Habits, etc. (1865)
