Summary/Abstract: The present study aims to analyze the changes that occurred with the establishment of the monarchical regime in Romania. The accession to the throne of Carol the 1st meant both political and social prosperity and the establishment of a new civil ethic. The austere king's posture, the idea of honour to be defended by duel, the courtesy of good social practices - all these are reflected in the epistolary practice that has become a real way of being in the world and a proof of the assumption of the role in the royalty play.
