Publisher's Synopsis

Lord Chesterfield's Letters Written To His Natural Son On Manners And Morals is a collection of letters written by the British statesman and diplomat, Lord Chesterfield, to his illegitimate son, Philip Stanhope. The letters were written in the 18th century and offer advice on how to behave properly in society, with a focus on manners, etiquette, and moral values.The book is divided into four parts, each covering different aspects of life, including education, social life, business, and politics. Lord Chesterfield's letters are written in a conversational style and are full of wit and wisdom. He offers practical advice on everything from how to dress and behave in public to how to conduct oneself in a business meeting or political setting.The letters provide a fascinating glimpse into the social norms and values of the 18th century and offer insights into the mind of one of the era's most prominent figures. Lord Chesterfield's advice is still relevant today and the book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in improving their manners and morals.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
