Book Description
Excerpt from Lord Chesterfield's Worldly Wisdom: Selections From His Letters and Characters Chesterfield stimulated his son's inquiries by the questions which from time to time he put to him, not as an examiner, but as one who sought for information. 'can the Elector of Saxony (he asks) put any of his subjects to death for high treason, without bringing them first to their trial in some public Court of Justice?'

Book Description
Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield was a statesman, diplomat, man of letters and acclaimed wit of the eighteenth century. His winning manners and urbanity were praised by many, including Alexander Pope, John Gay and Voltaire. Although an accomplished essayist and epigrammatist, Chesterfield’s literary reputation today derives from ‘Letters to His Son’, as well as ‘Letters to His Godson’, which are in fact works of private correspondence and paternal and avuncular advice, never intended for publication. As a handbook for worldly success in the eighteenth century, they provide humorous, perceptive and nuanced advice for how a gentleman should conduct himself at all times. For the first time in digital printing, this eBook presents Chesterfield’s complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
