The dust jacket reads: Until Miss Nancy Mitford wrote on 'The English Aristocracy' in Encounter, England was blissfully unconscious of 'U-Usage' and all its lethal implications. The reverberations of that article spread rapidly from London throughout the British Isles, county and otherwise, and soon provided conversational pabulum at the U and non-U-dinner-tables of English-speaking Paris and New York.
