Publisher's Synopsis

Letters Written By Lord Chesterfield To His Son V2 (1872) is a collection of letters written by Philip Dormer Stanhope, the fourth Earl of Chesterfield, to his son. The letters were originally written between 1737 and 1768 and were intended to provide guidance and advice to his son on various aspects of life, including education, manners, and social behavior. The letters cover a wide range of topics, from the importance of reading and writing to the art of conversation and the proper way to dress. Lord Chesterfield was known for his wit and wisdom, and his letters reflect his keen insights into human nature and his understanding of the world. This edition of the letters, published in 1872, includes a preface by the editor and a detailed index of topics covered in the letters. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of etiquette and social behavior, as well as a fascinating glimpse into the life and times of one of the most influential figures of the 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
