Excerpt from Lord Chesterfield's Letters to His Son and Godson, Selected: With Introduction, Biographical Sketch, and Notes
I will, therefore, suppose for argument's sake (for upon no other account can it be supposed) that all the vices above mentioned were perfectly innocent in themselves they would still degrade, vilify, and sink those who practiced them would obstruct their rising in the world, by debasing their characters; and give them a low turn of mind and manners, absolutely inconsistent with their making any figure in upper life, and great business.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 18th-century British society through the intimate letters of a prominent nobleman, Lord Chesterfield, to his son. The author provides a detailed account of Lord Chesterfield's life, highlighting his political career, his influence on literature and his enduring legacy. The letters themselves offer a rich tapestry of advice on topics ranging from the importance of history and the proper use of language to the finer points of good breeding and the art of engaging in conversation. While the author notes that some of Lord Chesterfieldââ â¢s advice is grounded in self-interest, he also emphasizes that the letters repeatedly advocate for a moral life, driven by a belief in the value of a good character for social and professional success. The book ultimately illuminates the values and social dynamics of a bygone era, offering valuable insights into the delicate balance between decorum and virtue that governed the lives of the British elite.
