The popularity of The Footman's Directory is attested to by the fact that only two years after its initial publication, it was being issued in its fifth edition. In addition to the very detailed diagrams such as the one shown here for a Dinner table set out for twelve persons with eight attendants, the book contained a series of lists of use to the footman. These lists ranged from list of mail coaches to tables of various weights and measures of beer, ale, and wine.
