Etiquette for Ladies: A Manual of the Most Approved Rules of Conduct in Polished Society for Married and Unmarried Ladies. Philadelphia: J. & J. L. Gihon, 1843. https://archive.org/details/cihm_43267/page/n7

I haven't checked Gutenberg to see if they're there. Portions of these might be fun for a nonfiction collection, or just do the whole thing as a project!
